Statement for COP26 – The Climate Governance Initiative (CGI)

November 2, 2021

MIoD is proud to announce that we have signed up to the Statement for COP26 regarding Climate Change with the Climate Governance Initiative (CGI).

“We welcome the fact that growing numbers of directors around the world have understood the gravity of the climate crisis and have committed to taking a leadership role in improving climate governance on their boards. We represent an important new wave of climate champions who have significant influence, and we are ready to step up to accelerate the pace of change needed to deliver a net-zero economy in our lifetime.” – Karina Litvak, Chairman, Climate Governance Initiative

If you are a board director, you have an opportunity to play a part in the global response to the climate emergency.

Today, the Climate Governance Initiative has released a statement highlighting the critical role of board directors in the transition to a net-zero future. The CGI is building a global community of climate-conscious directors and has an overall network exceeding 100,000 individuals.

At the Myanmar Institute of Directors, we are proud to be a part of this network and support this important statement ahead of COP26. Find the press release here https://climate-governance.org/cop26-statement-press-release/.
