| Research commissioned by the Carbon Trust shows that over 70% of companies interviewed said environmental management and/or sustainability priorities are likely to become ‘somewhat more important’ or ‘significantly more important’ for them as a result of Covid-19. | 8 Oct 2020 | |
| First opportunity for finance sector to add a science-based stamp to their portfolio alignment targets.

EcoAct | A to Zero Net Zero Programme factsheet | Faced with this urgency governments are legislating, investors are asking tougher questions, and society is demanding action. All the while, the climate is changing. Businesses could soon find themselves at risk of non-compliance; losing investment; left behind in the market; threatened by supply chain instability; and exposed to extreme weather events. Managing the risks of climate change is fast becoming a necessity if we wish to ensure the long-term prosperity of our commercial interests and investments.

Exponential Roadmap Initiative | The 1.5°C Business playbook v1.0 | This playbook is developed for companies that want to align with the 1.5°C ambition. Small, medium and larger companies may find it useful both for strengthening their own strategy and to help in engaging suppliers and setting requirements. Companies with advanced climate strategies that have already joined sector climate initiatives can use it to benchmark their approach and raise ambitions. In this capacity, the playbook will help to establish a clear climate strategy, define targets aligned with science, set requirements for suppliers and align supply chains and value propositions with a 1.5°C ambition. This guide is grounded on the Exponential Roadmap which integrates solutions from several research projects such as Project Drawdown and the Low Energy Demand scenario, which are also referenced in this playbook. It highlights 36 key solutions that together can halve global emissions by 2030. These solutions are all market-ready: they are affordable (like wind and solar), can scale rapidly (like reduced food waste) and can save money (like building efficiencies). | 01/01/2020 |
