G20 Path to Net Zero by 2050

The We Mean Business coalition calls on G20 leaders to lead the transition to net-zero carbon economies by 2050, citing a potential US$26 trillion growth opportunity and 65 million new jobs by 2030. The statement advocates for the implementation of TCFD recommendations, updated NDCs, and a just transition that integrates the Solidarity and Just Transition Silesia Declaration.

• The transition to a low-carbon economy presents a significant economic opportunity, potentially creating US$26 trillion in growth and 65 million new jobs by 2030, with net-zero emissions for heavy industries being technically and financially feasible by mid-century.
• A coalition of over 900 companies, with a combined market capitalization of $17.6 trillion, has made more than 1,400 climate commitments, including the adoption of science-based targets, 100% renewable electricity, and TCFD recommendations.
• The coalition requests that G20 leaders pursue net-zero emissions by 2050 consistent with the IPCC 1.5°C report, update their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) by 2020, and support a just transition by incorporating the Solidarity and Just Transition Silesia Declaration into national plans.
