Later is too late to address the climate crisis. It’s up to us, right now. That is the message from our friends at the Potential Energy Coalition. They recently completed a large-scale study to answer two key questions: Does the world want action on climate? How can we motivate the public to accelerate progress? They tested multiple framings of 18 different climate policies with nearly 60,000 people across 23 countries — which collectively account for 70% of the world’s population. They found: 🌱There is significant support for immediate government action on climate change in every country surveyed. 🌱Global support for climate action is high, but the right messaging can make the difference. 🌱The data clearly showed that one message moves the whole world significantly: protecting the planet for the next generation. 🌱The world is united on a powerful idea: it’s this generation’s responsibility to take bold action on climate.

This year companies must develop and disclose credible climate transition plans to ensure they are transition to net-zero in line with limiting warming to 1.5 °C.    Amir Sokolowski, CDP's Global Director for Climate Change, will be speaking at at City & Financial Global’s 2nd Annual Summit on Transition Plans for Financial Institutions and Listed Companies, in London on the 20th February 2024.    For more information, visit: https://lnkd.in/gKGuYUAP   #TransitionPlans

Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are crucial for global climate action, offering a framework for countries to commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change. They promote transparency and accountability by requiring nations to regularly report their emission reduction targets and policies, fostering trust and collective progress towards global climate goals. NDCs also provide guidance for national climate action, helping governments align policies with development objectives, promoting economic growth, social equity, and environmental sustainability. Overall, NDCs play a vital role in advancing the global effort to mitigate climate change and limit global warming to safe levels. #sustainablefinance #NDCs #Parisaligned #climateaction

Thanks to technological innovations and collective action, there is good reason to be optimistic about the fight against climate change: Over the last ten years, projected global warming by 2100 has dropped from 3.9°C to 2.7°C. At a Climate Week event hosted by The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), Speed & Scale Managing Director Anjali Grover spoke about the importance of bold climate commitments to drive bold climate action. Today only 9% of the Fortune Global 500 have true net-zero commitments. To drive more action, we need more commitments and we need more ambitious commitments across the board. 

The consensus on climate change is undeniable; it is a global issue that affects us all, and it has become increasingly clear that it poses a significant threat to the stability of our economy and society. The Climate Action Taskforce seeks to unlock industry-specific dialogue and accelerate business readiness to set, implement, and achieve credible targets in line with the 1.5 pathway while leaving no one behind.
