The Business End of Climate Change
Summary
The report assesses the impact of corporate commitments—specifically RE100, Science-Based Targets, EP100, Zero-Deforestation, and the LCTPi—on global emission reductions and evaluates how supportive policy environments could enhance these contributions.
Key insights
- The report quantifies the potential for emission reductions from five specific corporate initiatives: RE100, Science-Based Targets, EP100, Zero-Deforestation, and the LCTPi, aiming to contribute to the Paris Agreement target of keeping temperature increases "well below 2°C".
- Corporate commitments to reduce emissions include pledges to increase energy efficiency, stop sourcing commodities that cause deforestation, and source electricity from renewable energy.
