Climate
Global emissions are at their highest level in human history and continue to rise. Today, climate change is impacting economies, supply chains and communities around the globe, with the most vulnerable populations at the frontlines of the crisis. The good news is that we still have time to act.
The environmental principles of the UN Global Compact provide an entry point for business to address key environmental challenges. They apply to areas such as research, innovation, co-operation, education, and self-regulation. These principles can positively influence the large negative effects of human activity on the environment, such as environmental degradation, and damage to the planet’s life support systems.
Companies need to focus their efforts on deep decarbonization, reaching net-zero by 2050 at the latest. At the same time, companies must anchor their sustainability practices in a rights- and principles-based approach and ensure that their mitigation and adaptation measures do not deepen inequalities but contribute to climate justice through a just transition. The private sector has never been better equipped to tackle the climate emergency.
