Climate Governance Initiative’s Post

Recognition and rewards for transparent, high-integrity carbon credits are becoming major incentives for companies to boost their climate investments. Yet, confidence in these credits is critical for making a genuine impact. In collaboration with We Mean Business Coalition and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), we surveyed 180 executives across 27 countries to gauge corporate attitudes toward the voluntary carbon market, a key topic at #ClimateWeekNYC.

I talk about climate risk and business risk a lot. 🤐 But I recently realized how easy it is to fall into a trap of "industry language." Jargon like “mitigation” or “carbon neutral” can unintentionally create barriers for those not familiar with these terms. It's crucial to make these concepts accessible to a wider audience, from professionals to the broader community. Businesses must grasp the risks posed by climate inaction. ⏰ However, it's equally vital to articulate how sustainability aligns with profitability. By communicating clearly and accurately, we can engage more people in the climate dialogue and collaborate towards meaningful solutions. We need to ensure that we are all speaking the same language. Let's proactively bridge the communication divide between climate experts and business leaders to drive progress. I'll share some helpful links in the comments. Feel free to join in and share your favorite (or less so) climate buzzwords. 📣 #ClimateRisk #BusinessRisk #Sustainability #Communication #ClimateAction

In 2021, we committed to completing a climate scenario analysis by 2023 in partnership with global nonprofit BSR].

Nearly 200 governments have committed to publish updated national climate plans (or #NDCs) by February 2025. These plans are a decade-defining opportunity to reduce political uncertainty and unlock trillions in investment. But what does a strong climate plan actually look like? And how can real economy actors shape development and delivery of those plans? One week ahead of #ClimateWeekNYC, this messaging pack – compiled by #Mission2025 partners across the climate community – brings together key messages, resources and insights to answer these questions: https://lnkd.in/e58npjnt Matthew Phillips Freya Newman Michael Seckler Hannah Z.

 Climate Week NYC is on—the largest annual event of its kind to drive climate action. We're excited to see our own Michael Maslansky and Will Howard getting involved.
