We Mean Business coalition is calling on all companies that haven’t yet done so to commit to set an ambitious science-based emission reduction target that’s aligned with what science says is necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Signal your commitment to setting your company target by signing this pledge:
Dąbrowa Górnicza, a city in Zagłębie Dąbrowskie, southern Poland, near Katowice and Sosnowiec is stepping up for climate.
The European Union has enabled a breakthrough in the low-carbon transition by adopting clear targets and policy frameworks. So far, it has worked. Now, recognizing the urgency of the challenge—as conveyed by the latest scientific evidence in the IPCC’s 1.5 degree report and by extreme weather events that impacted so many regions this summer—it is time to move on to the next phase. The European Commission’s recent communication for a prosperous, climate neutral economy shows that a net-zero emission economy is feasible and desirable. We encourage EU countries to endorse it.
The EU has the knowledge, skillset and economic drivers to deliver net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest. It will be essential to scale up efforts over the next decade and review existing targets for 2030 accordingly. We believe European countries can and should show the way towards a zero-emissions future.
Here is an opportunity to clean our air and water, and to reduce waste, whilst making our homes and cities better places to live. This is an opportunity for a managed transition, to create more jobs in growing fields, to bolster innovative industries, to build resilient infrastructure, and to develop new business models that support a better, healthier, and more sustainable way of life.
These actions bring immediate benefits to people's everyday lives: reducing the negative health impacts from pollution and making buildings and workplaces more comfortable and productive. They are making our businesses the market leaders of the future, and turning the economy into a more resilient part of the solution.
We are all in this together. We can only succeed through cooperation, by working together to deliver on the commitments of the Paris Agreement without leaving anyone behind. Together, we can seize this opportunity and confront the challenges ahead.
