Paris at five and a climate blueprint for the future

The document marks the fifth anniversary of the Paris Agreement by calling for a national mobilization on climate and recovery in the United States and global corporate leadership. It emphasizes the role of youth activism, the 'We Are Still In' coalition, and the 'Alliances for Climate Action' in driving decarbonization. The author highlights the need for credible corporate strategies to avoid confusion over terms like 'net zero' and promotes WWF's 'Beyond Science-Based Targets' report as a blueprint for companies to maximize their climate impact.

• The 'We Are Still In' coalition consists of nearly 4,000 local leaders across all 50 U.S. states, representing more than half of the U.S. population, over half of the country's emissions, and nearly two-thirds of its economy.
• Corporate climate claims are often inconsistent, and confusion regarding terms such as 'climate neutral' and 'net zero' can undermine the credibility of individual company strategies.
• WWF has released a report titled 'Beyond Science-Based Targets: A Blueprint for Corporate Action on Climate and Nature' to help companies create or upgrade action plans to maximize their climate impact.
• The 'Alliances for Climate Action' is a global network of national coalitions involving corporate leaders who engage on national policies to accelerate decarbonization.
