Climate
With a decade to deliver a climate turnaround, the Globescan-SustainAbility survey of sustainability experts on climate leadership makes interesting reading. Most (55%) believe we are already into the ‘irreversible damage’ zone. Leadership is sought primarily from national governments (82%) and the private sector (75%). Most believe companies must be carbon neutral by 2030 or sooner (67%). Leadership today means scale of effort, goals/targets set and technological solutions. Unilever, Patagonia, Tesla, IKEA and Alphabet/Google top the list of perceived leaders on climate action, although Shell has (rather surprisingly) crept back into the top 10 for the first time since 2009.
