Summary
The document outlines the existential threat of climate change, specifically noting impacts in the US such as droughts in California and wildfires in the West. It advocates for a transition to a 100% renewable energy supply by 2050, urging US corporations to set science-based targets and reaffirm support for the Paris Climate Agreement. Additionally, it provides a detailed list of energy-saving actions for individuals to implement at home and in the workplace to reduce their carbon footprint.
Key insights
- To prevent the most catastrophic effects of climate change, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 50% by 2030 and completely by 2050.
- WWF advocates for a global transition to an energy system powered entirely by renewable energy by 2050, which requires both reducing energy demand and shifting to sustainable energy sources.
- Nearly 50% of the largest companies in the United States are currently gaining business value by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adopting clean energy.
- WWF urges US businesses to take three specific leadership actions: scaling up nationwide renewable energy use through collective purchasing, reaffirming support for the Paris Climate Agreement, and meeting science-based climate targets.
- Individual behavioral changes can lead to measurable energy savings, such as using cold water settings in washing machines to reduce electricity consumption by approximately 40% on average, and unplugging mobile phone chargers to avoid the up to 50% of energy they consume when not in use.
