**Climate change arguably presents a graver threat to the environment and human civilization than even the plastic pollution crisis. This is the topic our expert panel discuss in our latest session of our** [**Sustainable Packaging Summit**](https://visit.circdata.com/sp20/Home?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io)**, which took place on 29th April and is now available to watch on demand.**

In this live discussion, we’ll be exploring the strategies that FMCG companies can adopt to drive down the carbon emissions associated with their packaging as it passes through the supply chain - as well as the technologies and policies industry must advance to reduce the footprints of packaging materials and systems relative to today’s baselines.

Speakers include:

- **Sarah Laidler** (the Carbon Trust)
- **Gerald Rebitzer** (Amcor Flexibles)
- **Jürgen Krahé** (ORBIS)
- **Tim Sykes** (Packaging Europe)
