FinBiz2030 Insights
This year’s annual One Young World Summit took place in Manchester, England and brought together over two thousand of the brightest young leaders from every country and sector, working to accelerate social impact both in-person and digitally. Delegates arrived from over 190 countries and were counselled by influential political, business, and humanitarian leaders such as Justin Trudeau, Paul Polman and Meghan Markle, and many others to harness the knowledge and skills needed for being impactful change makers.
Over 1,300 people from 68 countries joined our final FinBiz2030 event of the year: Making Cop26 Count hosted in partnership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants Scotland, reflecting on the outcomes of COP26.
More than nine out of ten Chartered Accountants and finance professionals believe accountants have an important role to play in climate change, and there is broad optimism within the profession about the measures agreed during the recent COP26 summit.
