Enhancing public sector action through climate reporting

Join the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB), Accountancy Europe, the European Commission, and the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) to discuss ongoing initiatives in the public sector and the next steps needed to effectively address the climate emergency.

As the world unites to combat climate change and preserve our planet, public sector participation is needed to ensure lasting change. To achieve global emissions targets, governments must use their regulatory powers and set policies that support sustainable development. Simply put, without public sector action, climate change will persist without mitigation.

Our event will:

• explore how a robust reporting framework underpins sustainable policies, fostering resilience in the face of uncertainty
• delve into the use of climate data to inform decision-making to not only support action to ensure a sustainable planet, but also sustainable public finances
• reflect on the pivotal role of transparency and accountability in building bridges of trust between governments and citizens

Join us for a networking reception afterwards, from 17:00 to 18:00 CEST.
