The 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27), held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt in 2022, brought together world leaders to urgently address climate change. During this annual United Nations Climate Change Conference, representatives discussed global warming, set new goals, and emphasized the need to tackle carbon emissions and other pollutants worldwide.
Since COP26, key governments worldwide have been asked for their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to combat climate change. Notable achievements include the US Congress passing the Inflation Reduction Act, Norway strengthening expectations on state-owned organizations, Australia submitting an improved NDC, and the UK providing transparency on its emission reduction targets
In late October, World Kinect Energy Services hosted the inaugural Get Kinected seminar in London, where delegates explored key energy and fuel trends from 2022 and beyond. The seminar covered topics such as managing spend in volatile markets, renewable energy, carbon offsets, and the future of hydrogen in the energy mix.
