Description

Businesses need to join forces in an all-hands-on-deck Acceleration Agenda to fast track climate action by focusing their efforts on deep decarbonization, reaching net-zero by 2050 at the latest. Organizations need to publish comprehensive transition plans and anchor their sustainability practices in a rights- and principles-based approach to ensure that their mitigation and adaptation measures do not deepen inequalities, but contribute to climate justice through a just transition. The breakout discussion will feature business leaders who are prioritizing emissions reductions and taking concrete actions to advance a just transition. Audience members will be invited to interact with the presenters to address some of their biggest challenges and opportunities as they work towards their just and inclusive net-zero plans.
