Summary
The document outlines the existential threat of climate change, specifically noting impacts in the US such as droughts in California and hurricanes along the eastern seaboard. It advocates for a transition to a 100% renewable energy supply by 2050 through reduced energy demand and the adoption of sustainable energy sources. The guide provides specific actionable advice for individuals to reduce energy consumption at home and at work, and urges US corporations to set science-based climate targets and reaffirm support for the Paris Climate Agreement.
Key insights
- WWF proposes a global transition to an energy supply powered entirely by renewable sources by the year 2050, which requires both a reduction in energy demand and a shift toward sustainable energy.
- US businesses are encouraged to lead the climate fight by scaling up renewable energy use, supporting the Paris Climate Agreement, and establishing climate targets based on science.
- A significant portion of the largest companies in the United States are already achieving business value by utilizing clean energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Specific domestic energy-saving measures can lead to measurable reductions in electricity use, such as using cold water settings in washing machines (86°F instead of 104°F) to reduce consumption by approximately 40% on average, and using laptops which consume five times less electricity than desktops.
