Over the course of two weeks, McKinsey will host a series of panels to discuss what it takes to build a net-zero future, including navigating the transformation to a climate-neutral world, creating actionable road maps, understanding the role of finance, and more. Register now to join our daily live virtual events, and visit these insights on key agenda topics to understand: the fundamental requirements to solve the net-zero equation, as well as the interdependencies between them the areas of technology with considerable promise, and potential obstacles, along the path to scale the opportunities that emerge for businesses to create value from the climate transition methane’s impact on the climate, potential ways to reduce emissions, and steps that companies can take Read more Solving the net-zero equation: Nine requirements for a more orderly transition Net-zero commitments are rising, but the net-zero equation is not yet solved. This can only change if nine interdependent requirements are met with singular resolve, unity, and ingenuity. An agenda for leaders   Innovating to net zero: An executive's guide to climate technology Advanced technologies are critical to stopping climate change—and the drive to develop and scale them is accelerating. Here are five themes that could attract $2 trillion of annual investment by 2025. Scale up solutions   Opportunities for UK businesses in the net-zero transition Supplying the goods and services to enable the global net-zero transition could be worth £1 trillion to UK businesses by 2030. Create value   Curbing methane emissions: How five industries can counter a major climate threat Methane accounts for about one-third of global warming.

Take focused action   The big choices for oil and gas in navigating the energy transition As oil and gas companies respond to the current economic discontinuities, they must choose where and how to compete as the world transitions to a low-carbon future. 3 questions to consider   How the European Union could achieve net-zero emissions at net-zero cost The decarbonization pathways to a net-zero Europe are countless, but not all are cost optimal. We explore one pathway that could reduce the EU's emissions 55 percent by 2030 while delivering broad economic benefits. Reflect on the pathways   Climate risk and response: Physical hazards and socioeconomic impacts How could Earth's changing climate impact socioeconomic systems across the world in the next three decades? A yearlong, cross-disciplinary research effort at McKinsey & Company provides some answers.

Drive impact   MORE FROM MCKINSEY Why do we serve high-emissions companies? Because that is where the emissions are. With the COP26 climate change conference on the horizon, should McKinsey be working with companies whose operations add considerable amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere? That's a fair question. And to give away the punchline up front—our answer is yes.
