Some want us to believe the transition is stalling - but it's actually faster, cheaper and more profitable than we think. What’s more, over the course of June – from the Bonn SBs through to London Climate Action Week – we've also seen that change is more popular than we think. The past month saw a wave of non-state actors – including Mayors, Governors, CEOs, investors and citizens – step forward in support of more ambitious climate action from governments, demonstrating the enormous appetite across the real economy to move further, faster, together.

We are way off track. But change can happen faster than we think. Ahead of #COP28, we've collaborated with a host of brilliant partners to develop a set of sector narratives for power, road transport and industry. The narratives are a shared vision and unified message we can all get behind to unlock exponential change in these sectors from COP28 to COP30.
