While most companies in the transportation sector and other high-emitting sectors have publicly committed to supporting Paris-aligned climate policies, Ceres’ research shows that they have engaged in lobbying practices, including through their trade associations, that have undercut it. The good news is some automakers are beginning to hold their trade associations accountable while more investors hold companies to their climate policy commitments and practices. In this invite-only session during New York Climate Week, participants will explore this growing accountability trend and examine the recent actions of companies to hold their associations accountable.
Ceres is hosting this event during New York Climate Week. InfluenceMap's Director for Energy, Mining, and Transport Research will speak at the event.
