It is time to invest in change for the better
We need to take action now. Global warming is increasing, and the scientific evidence suggests that we are running out of time to avert catastrophe. If we do not act in this decisive decade, we will go beyond our ability to adapt. Around the world we are already seeing what that future could look like – in the summer of 2022 we have seen floods in Pakistan, hurricanes in the Caribbean, heatwaves across Europe, and droughts in the US and China.
The urgent need for action to keep alive the prospect of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels is clear. Businesses are critical to our overall effort to deliver a net zero future by reducing emissions and driving the green technology revolution.
Addressing climate change is an urgent challenge, but one that creates opportunities for growth, collaboration, and new partnerships. We are committed to supporting innovators, individuals, communities and organisations in their efforts to save our planet, lift people out of poverty and advance health outcomes.
Around the world, individuals and organisations are radically re-imagining what it means to be a responsible 21st-century business, and innovators are a critical part of this movement to transition to a clean green future. The development of new ideas and innovative technologies and the scaling of existing solutions have the potential to make a profound difference for businesses, customers, and communities – and to preserve the planet for future generations.
