It’s time to turn theory into action
Climate change isn’t a challenge for tomorrow, it needs to be tackled now. COP26 has cast light on climate issues and the extent of change needed.
How can the world go faster to net zero? What innovative tools and solutions have real potential to scale up efforts to reach net zero in time to limit the worst effects of climate change on people and our planet? And what does this mean for business? Throughout COP26, we have been exploring some of the big questions facing the world and sharing our insights and perspectives.
"We need 8 billion people to make this a personal cause."
Net zero isn’t a solo project. It requires a holistic view across an ecosystem that includes government, businesses, customers and communities. Transforming at pace for a changing world requires skilled people, innovative thinking and smart technologies - a community of solvers working together to build trust across the net zero ecosystem to deliver sustained outcomes which will make a positive difference to our world. At PwC we’re leaning into how we play our part, through our own commitment to achieve net zero by 2030.
The New Equation shows us a path for solving today’s big problems. To avoid climate risks and capture new opportunities, organisations need to reinvent themselves – fast. Every region on Earth is feeling the impacts of climate change - but the reality is, that some parts of the world will be more acutely affected, more quickly. Which is why working towards a ‘just transition’ is critical for the future health and prosperity for all of us collectively. Cue a sense of urgency around COP26, the UN climate change conference gathering in Glasgow: the world needs to find a shared solution to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
