The Case for Business Action on Climate Change

The document outlines the commitment of 93 companies to address climate change and support the transition to a low-carbon economy. The authors argue that climate change threatens business growth and a healthy economy, and that the private sector must use innovation and scale to reduce natural-resource use and invest in clean energy.

• The authors state that climate change is warming the planet with severe consequences that pose a threat to a healthy economy and business growth, suggesting a tipping point has been reached and a shift toward a global economy that is less harmful to the environment is now unstoppable.
• The private sector is positioned as a key actor in the transition to a low-carbon economy, with business leaders collaborating across sectors to invest in clean energy, reduce the use of natural resources, and utilize technology to meet social and environmental commitments.
