Business Declares Kx: Corporate Lobbying: A Force for Good?

Come along and listen to a dynamic discussion + Q&A hosted by Sam Baker with Lucca Ewbank from InfluenceMap and Nick Hajdu from Climate Majority Project, about corporate lobbying - its current employment in driving the status quo, but also its power in advocating for meaningful action, policy changes and transformations necessary to tackle the polycrisis and achieve systemic change:

Lucca Ewbank, InfluenceMap's Program Manager for Transport, will share insights into the organisation's work. Lucca leads InfluenceMap's global analysis of the automotive, aviation and shipping sectors, providing vital transparency into how these industries influence climate action.

Nick Hajdu, part of the founding team of the Transition Lobby, will share some revealing findings from two pieces of research carried out recently - one to senior leaders in the business community, and the second to 100 sitting MPs - to establish views from both groups on the state of the climate emergency today, the extent to which better regulation on climate is needed, whether businesses are lobbying for that regulatory change, and what MPs need to see to make that change happen.
