Are climate policies genuinely effective? A groundbreaking study published in Science Magazine offers critical insights into the real-world impact of climate policies. Over two decades, researchers analysed 1,500 policies across 41 countries and found that only 63 led to significant emission reductions. The findings emphasise that well-designed policy mixes—particularly those combining taxation and price incentives—are among the most effective, especially in sectors like buildings and electricity. Key takeaways include: • Effective policies: Taxation and price incentives are highly impactful, especially when integrated with other measures. • Sectoral success: The buildings sector saw the most significant reductions, followed by transport and industry. • Policy combinations: Mixed policies perform better than standalone interventions. While these results are promising, there is still a long way to go in bridging the 23 Gt CO2 emissions gap to meet the Paris Agreement's targets. What's next?

How do you calculate your company's carbon footprint? Understanding the total greenhouse gases emitted by your operations is a foundational step in your decarbonisation journey. By evaluating direct and indirect emissions, you can set realistic reduction targets and enhance operational efficiency while complying with evolving regulations. This process helps identify emissions hotspots while strengthening stakeholder trust and corporate reputation. With a clear emissions profile, strategic planning becomes achievable, allowing you to integrate sustainability into your core business strategy effectively.

Did you know that decarbonisation = financial benefits? Recent research reveals that 25% of companies that embraced emissions reduction initiatives saw annual profit growth of over 7%. On average, these companies reported $200 million in net profit after investments, proving that decarbonisation mitigates climate change and enhances the bottom line. Key areas driving these profits include energy savings, lower tax burdens, and increased revenue from low-carbon products. Companies with clear decarbonisation plans by 2030 are three times more likely to see such returns.
