Dec 21 2021
In the context of COP26, the UK has taken the opportunity to issue an array of documents and proposals, hoping to establish its credentials (post Brexit) as a leading light on ESG and climate change, and a rival to the EU, which is already well down the track with its own ambitious proposals.
