We Mean Business Coalition的动态

As the second week of #COP29 begins in Baku, I reflect on the developments from week one.?? ?? On Saturday, together with #Mission2025, we coordinated a network of business groups calling on G20 leaders to lead on NDCs and finance in the face of slow progress at COP29.?? ? Working with more than 38,000 companies, they are calling on governments to do three things.?? ? ? “Publish the plans”: Submit NDCs that are 1.5°C aligned, sector-specific and backed up by clear plans and investment policies.? ? ? “Move the money”: Catalyze finance to meet the needs of developing economies through financial reform and a high-ambition finance goal in Baku.? ? Investing in clean solutions is the best way to ensure energy security. This is material to companies and this investment is going to increase their competitiveness.?? ? We have already seen critical leadership from the UK government, with signals that the UK is determined to lead the clean energy race. Consistent with the science and what is technologically and economically achievable, their #NDC published at the beginning of week one is a clear signal that the UK is back as a global leader on climate.?? ? #Brazil also announced its headline #NDC target last week, with the top range of the target being ambitious indeed. It has pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 13% to 29% from its 2030 levels or 59% to 67% from its 2005 baseline. Currently presiding over the G20, and hosting #COP30, Brazil is striving to position itself as a global leader in climate action.? ? This week at the #G20, leaders must be focused on ensuring policy coherence. To be aligned with 1.5°C, a country’s policies must be consistent and must promote the transition away from fossil fuels, drive investment in renewables and deliver energy efficiency.? ? The focus needs to be on all three. To put it simply. The best way to address climate change is to stop burning fossil fuels.?? ? Companies do not invest in four-year cycles. Business wants to invest in national markets with stable, predictable environments and policies that drive rapid adoption of clean solutions. It’s time to deliver.?? ? ??
