Lettre ouverte des entreprises aux dirigeantes et dirigeants du G20
Summary
Signatory companies call on G20 leaders to lead the global climate fight by aligning national contributions with a 50% emissions reduction by 2030, ending coal power financing, and reforming public finance to support a nature-positive economy.
Key insights
- The G20 holds a unique collective responsibility for global climate leadership as it accounts for approximately 90% of global GDP, nearly 80% of global trade, and nearly 80% of greenhouse gas emissions.
- The signatory companies request that G20 leaders strengthen Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to target at least a 50% reduction in global emissions by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050.
- The letter calls for an immediate end to the development and financing of new coal plants, with a phase-out of coal electricity production by 2030 in advanced economies and by 2040 in other countries.
- Financial recommendations include honoring the 100 billion USD public funding commitment for developing countries, removing fossil fuel subsidies by 2025, and implementing carbon pricing.
- The document advocates for the integration of biodiversity loss and environmental degradation policies with climate action to build a nature-positive economy by 2030.
