More than 100 CEOs of large multinational organisations, all members of the Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders, have signed an open letter emphasising their conviction that ambitious climate targets can only be realised with the support of governments.
We need to put an end to the “us vs them” narrative – between small business and big, and between business and government.
We all have a part to play in the climate solution.
The Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders are ready to work side-by-side with governments to deliver bold climate action.
Their letter calls on peers in the private sector to:
- Set science-based targets in line with the Paris Agreement, with a clear roadmap that takes sector-specific pathways into account
- Collaborate within and across sectors and value chains to drive transparency, advocacy and action in alliances and initiatives, while working with major industry and trade associations to advance alignment with the Paris Agreement
- Contribute to the development of internationally harmonised reporting standards
