Mars: Time for business and governments to step up climate action

Mars advocates for a transition to a net-zero carbon economy, urging businesses to adopt science-based targets across value chains and calling on governments to implement carbon pricing and clean energy infrastructure.

• Mars identifies three essential actions for the business community: adopting science-based targets across direct operations and value chains, advocating for national and subnational policies aligned with a net-zero pathway by 2050, and ensuring peers, suppliers, and trade associations also advocate for a net-zero future.
• To provide the business community with the clarity and confidence needed to scale action, Mars states that governments must provide a carbon pricing system aligned with science, accelerate the deployment of clean energy, clean transportation, and carbon-removing land sectors, and invest in resilience infrastructure.
• Mars argues that the Paris Agreement should serve as a minimum baseline for ambitions rather than a maximum limit, and notes that global emissions continue to grow despite scientific consensus that peak emissions should have been reached by 2020.
