Equipoise at COP 27 🎯

Equipoise at COP7

It was a privilege for Equipoise to be involved in COP27. There were many inspirational and insightful conversations on and off stage. Some personal highlights for us were:

  • Quote: “We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator” - António Guterres, U.N. Secretary-General

  • Moment: Kausea Natano, Tuvalu’s Prime Minister, explained the very real possibility of their population becoming climate refugees in the next decade as their Pacific island nation faces rising sea levels.

  • Action: The Biden-Harris administration announced a plan to require federal suppliers with contracts worth more than $50M per year to publicly disclose greenhouse gas emissions, including material Scope 3 emissions, and to set science-based decarbonisation targets.

It was an honour being in Egypt to meet sustainability leaders, and we’re excited to see the role sustainable procurement will play in meeting global decarbonisation targets.
