Dear John,
The new year represents a new paradigm of private sector action on our global sustainability challenges and seizing the greatest opportunities of our time.
While climate change, water scarcity, and nature loss continue to impose hundreds of billions of dollars of damage, aligning strategies with the transition to a cleaner zero emissions economy has always been smart investment and solid business practice.
We have now decisively shifted to a new era where that is the default assumption of institutional investors and companies. For all of us who have championed a healthier, more resilient, and more inclusive economy, this is a time of optimism. But it is also a time of risk. As much momentum as we have behind us, we are still woefully behind in meeting the global goal of slashing climate emissions in half by 2030. We have no time to lose.
That’s why the coming year will be critical. It will present both new challenges and new opportunities for the private sector. With just 7 years left to meet our goal, here are 7 actions that will be key to our success in 2023 and beyond: |
