Corporate Lobbying: A Force for Good?

In this webinar hosted by Business Declares, InfluenceMap's Lucca Ewbank and Climate Majority Project's Nick Hajdu will discuss how corporate lobbying—when used positively—can drive the meaningful action, policy changes, and transformations necessary to tackle the climate crisis. The speakers will cover how lobbying is currently used to maintain business as usual, as well as where opportunities exist to use policy engagement to drive systemic change. Sam Baker, Director at Business Declares, will host the discussion.

Lucca Ewbank, InfluenceMap's Program Manager for Transport, will share insights into InfluenceMap's work. Lucca leads InfluenceMap's global analysis of the automotive, aviation, and shipping sectors, providing vital transparency into how these industries influence climate action.

Nick Hajdu, part of the founding team of the Transition Lobby, will share some revealing findings from two pieces of research carried out recently—one to senior leaders in the business community, and the second to 100 sitting MPs—to establish views from both groups on the state of the climate emergency today, the extent to which better regulation on climate is needed, whether businesses are lobbying for that regulatory change, and what MPs need to see to make that change happen.
