Reuters IMPACT to mobilize global leaders on climate action during its third annual summit

Reuters today announced the return of the Reuters IMPACT climate change leadership summit on September 6 and 7, hosted in-person in London and streamed globally.

Reuters IMPACT will bring together more than 300 leading political figures, scientists, CEOs and activists to explore how businesses can drive the necessary innovations and investments to change our future and deliver a clean and inclusive tomorrow. Reuters IMPACT will share strategies and perspectives on how companies can play a role in averting the impacts of climate change.

The summit, powered by the award-winning Reuters newsroom, will explore four central, interlinked themes: decarbonization, nature and environment, geopolitics and climate finance.

Confirmed Reuters IMPACT speakers include:

• Bezos Earth Fund CEO Andrew Steer
• NatWest CEO Alison Rose
• Roche Vice Chairman Andre Hoffman
• Buenos Aires Mayor Horacio Rodriguez Larreta
• UK Net Zero Review Chair Chris Skidmore
• Oxfam France President Cecile Duflot

• UN Global Compact Network UK Executive Director Steve Kenzie
• UN Framework Convention on Climate Change High-Level Champion Nigel Topping

Additional speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.

Jon Harman, head of Reuters IMPACT, said: "Reuters IMPACT creates a forum where global leaders from business, government, science and sustainability convene to tackle climate action head-on. Our industry-driven agenda, breaking news and networking will accelerate action and set the stage for the UN General Assembly just weeks later."

Reuters Events also recently announced the launch of the Reuters IMPACT Climate Council, which brings together influential executives, leaders and changemakers and seeks to start a conversation about the climate challenge facing our planet and what actions are needed to address it. The Reuters IMPACT Climate Council will help shape the Reuters IMPACT agenda throughout the year and generate data-driven insight for the Reuters IMPACT community and the Reuters Events annual climate report.
