21 March 2024 - Our CISL Europe Director comments in the FT on the importance of businesses cutting their emissions by at least 90% by 2040, as governments grapple with the costly consequences of climate change.
Organiser of global warming negotiations says body needs contributions totalling more than €150mn over 2 years.
More than 100 business leaders from companies such as Coca-Cola, Google and Ikea also outlined the hazards in a letter on Thursday that separately called on the European Commission to commit to cut emissions by 90 per cent by 2040 from 1990 levels. Europe is the fastest warming continent. “There is no doubt, climate change is multiplying the risks we face,” said Ursula Woodburn, director of Corporate Leaders Group Europe, which organised the letter.
