Paris, policy and building a pathway

Welcome to the first Policy Perspective of 2017. It's hard to believe that April is already upon us, however we've been hard at work building submissions to steer policy focus towards sustainable outcomes for cities and people. Policy leadership has been slow on the uptake, so we want to encourage industry to continue working collaboratively to achieve the commitments made during the Paris Agreements.
