While public pressure to actively battle climate change continues to swell, companies need to not only set, but also execute, goals aligned with science based targets. Yet the background of corporate climate action can be challenging to decipher and it is clear that implementing net-zero commitments across a business is not a simple endeavor.
In this one-hour webcast from last month, speakers from Ørsted (a renewable energy company), the Science Based Targets Initiative, and Oxford Net Zero came together to discuss how companies of any size can take meaningful action to help combat climate change.
In the webcast, the speakers addressed a variety of questions, including:
● What is the current state of play in corporate climate action?
● What constitutes credible corporate climate action and why?
● What are the key steps for starting work towards a target?
● How can companies balance what is necessary and what is feasible?
It isn’t too late to listen in while moderator Jim Giles, Vice President, Net Zero, GreenBiz Group; Rasmus Skov, Senior Director, Global Public Affairs & Sustainability Solutions, Ørsted; and Kate Cullen, Net Zero Researcher, University of Oxford PhD Student, Energy and Resources, University of California, Berkeley discuss this complex situation.
