The Paris Agreement: What it means for business

The NewClimate Institute, in partnership with BSR and We Mean Business, produced this report to analyze how the Paris Agreement and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) will impact the global economy and the private sector. The analysis focuses on energy sector changes, specifically renewable energy growth, clean energy investments, energy efficiency, and the competitiveness of renewables, alongside carbon pricing and climate risk management.

• The Paris Agreement is anticipated to cause an unprecedented effect on the global economy throughout the 21st century, with far-reaching consequences for the private sector as the international community aims for net zero emissions in the latter half of the century.
• The report examines the relationship between the Paris Agreement, countries' Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and specific business implications regarding resilience building, climate risk management, carbon pricing, and renewable energy markets.
• NewClimate Institute's role in the report involved the collection and analysis of data regarding energy sector changes relevant to business, specifically focusing on clean energy investments, energy efficiency, the competitiveness of renewables, and growth in renewable energy generation.
