October 28, 2015 (Paris & Copenhagen) – The World Climate Ltd today announced its partnership with Iberdrola, Spain’s number one energy group and one of the world´s largest utilities companies, for the upcoming World Climate Summit, the original business, finance and government leaders forum during the UNFCCC COP 21.

The partnership includes Ignacio Galan as part of a panel discussion on mobilising leadership and innovation post-COP 21.
“We are excited to partner up with Iberdrola for this year’s World Climate Summit,” says Jens Nielsen, CEO of World Climate Ltd, organiser of the World Climate Summit. “The extensive alliance between Iberdrola and World Climate Summit opens up new possibilities for both companies to reach new climate change and sustainability energy solutions. We look forward to hearing Ignacio Galan’s insights during the Summit.”
