There are only two weeks left until The Herald COP26: A Catalyst for Change virtual business breakfast, bringing together a variety of experts to explore how Scotland can ensure a sustainable future.
Held in association with international law firm CMS, participants will hear from policymakers, businesses and activists on the great work that is happening across the country to tackle the climate crisis, while also exploring those areas where improvements need to be made. Among the speakers are: Patrick Harvie MSP, co-leader of the Scottish Green Party; Karen Betts, chief executive of the Scotch Whisky Association; and Lindsay McQuade, chief executive of ScottishPower Renewables.
The event, hosted by broadcast journalist Rachel McTavish, will also include a debate among our expert panel on how Scotland can turn November’s COP26 summit into a springboard for lasting change.

Alan Nelson, managing partner of the Glasgow office of CMS, said: “With a new era of government in Scotland and COP26 coming, we have the perfect springboard to move forward with bold initiatives on how we live our lives and in business so as to make Scotland a leading light in its response to the climate crisis.”
The free event will be held via online platform Hopin and will take place between 9-11am on Thursday, September 16. Delegates will have the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and engage with panel members through an interactive chat facility on the event platform.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
