On the heels of the U.N. Climate Change Conference, POLITICO will convene its inaugural sustainability summit to explore what it will take to go from making pledges to taking action.

Join POLITICO on Tuesday, November 16th as we focus on how sustainability will have to evolve from buzzword to necessity in order to create long-term change.

Many major companies and brands have set ambitious corporate climate goals, vowing to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and waste. Statements such as net-zero, eco-friendly, and zero-waste are commonplace. But how are these companies using their influence to drive policy change in Washington and influence consumers? POLITICO journalists will go beyond the jargon to identify the action and measurable impact behind these commitments. They will also dig into President Biden’s climate agenda, especially as it relates to creating a clean-energy economy. The administration wants to electrify the transportation sector, push renewable resources, rethink the food system, and build more resilient infrastructure and housing.
