  • What the outside-in perspective – including the science-based targets movement – means for business strategy
  • What companies like Unilever, IKEA, Patagonia, Mars, Microsoft, Google, and Stripe are doing to earn their recognition as pioneers in net positive
  • Why partnerships and shifting societal norms are the key to making progress towards net positive – and achieving the scale of solutions that we urgently need
