Here’s an Asia Pacific Regional Update from Rob Thomson io’s VP AsiaPac. With the United Nations COP 27 conference less than a week away, Governments and Industry are continuing to moving quickly to decarbonise and transition to a NetZero future in an increasingly volatile global environment. COP 27 is in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt from 6 – 18 November 2022.
