A statement from the We Mean Business coalition

The We Mean Business coalition expresses solidarity with the Black community following police violence in the United States, arguing that a transition to a net-zero economy cannot be inclusive without addressing structural racism and inequality. The coalition acknowledges that the climate crisis disproportionately affects communities of color and commits to improving its internal practices and leadership diversity to better address the links between climate change and racial injustice.

• The coalition asserts that achieving sustainable economic growth and a transition to a net-zero economy requires the eradication of structural inequalities and racism, noting that marginalized communities and communities of color are disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis.
• The We Mean Business coalition admits that the climate community has failed to sufficiently address the links between racial injustice, inequality, and climate change, and pledges to improve its internal practices and the diversity of its leadership.
