Our U&We colleague Håkan Emilsson has written a blog on the role of companies in achieving the goals outlined in the Paris Agreement and the Earth Statement.

His key points are:

• the rate of emissions reductions must be even quicker than currently planned
• companies’ efforts are as important as those of any other actors in society
• all stakeholder groups are now interested in the climate issue and pressure on companies is increasing
• ZeroMission’s climate strategy model covers the necessary steps: measure, set goals, plan action to reduce emissions and change to renewable energy, offset emissions and communicate.
• the Science-Based Targets initiative is helping companies set the ambitious targets required.
