Delighted to be part of the launch of #Mission2025 today to kick off London Climate Action Week with brilliant opening by Dr. Andrew Steer Bezos Earth Fund The University of Exeter’s leadership on Global Tipping Points is helping to frame the narrative on both the urgency and solutions needed. But most importantly #Mission2025 brings together an awesome coalition of businesses, policy makers, networks, cities, regions, scientists and philanthropies who are united in accelerating action on the climate and environmental crisis. Positive Tipping Points in the economy and society are already happening and now is the time to go even faster together. Great facts from the report launch: “The core technologies of the energy transition have already reached tipping points, beyond which fossil fuel alternatives aren’t viable. Wind and solar are meeting over 90% of global power demand growth. Electric vehicles now make up 18% of global passenger vehicle sales and as much as 20% and 40% of sales in Europe and China respectively. The world now invests twice as much in clean tech as it does in fossil fuels.” Find out more about how to trigger positive tipping points: https://lnkd.in/ee-3kAAr

Count Us In is excited to support #Mission2025, a coalition of business, culture and civil society leaders driving ambitious climate action. To secure our future and nature’s future we need our leaders to lead and submit ambitious National Climate Plans to the UN by February 2025. 💼Businesses want this: it makes economic sense. 💸Investors want this: it makes financial sense. 👫🏾We, the people, want this: it makes common sense. #Mission2025 #LCAW2024 👉 https://lnkd.in/geqxE4ww

Kicking off London Climate Action Week with some reasons to be optimistic - highlights from We Mean Business Coalition’s #mission2025: Some still want us to believe that the transformation is stalling. We know that it is happening, often faster than we think. Progress towards a 1.5-aligned economy is underway – the technology is in place, investment is scaling, business appetite is rife, and public support is building: 💥The core technologies of the energy transition have already reached tipping points, beyond which fossil fuel alternatives aren’t viable. Wind and solar are meeting over 90% of global power demand growth. 🚙 Electric vehicles now make up 18% of global passenger vehicle sales and as much as 20% and 40% of sales in Europe and China respectively. 💰💚 The world now invests twice as much in clean tech as it does in fossil fuels. 📈 55 of the world’s leading multinationals with combined annual revenues of over $4.4 trillion have published transition plans, in line with TCFD. 🏙️ Almost all 100 members of the C40 cities network have climate action plans which are aligned with the Paris Agreement, taking courageous steps to reduce fossil fuel use, increase community resilience and putting in practice a just transition. 75% of C40 cities are slashing per capita emissions faster than their respective national governments. 🗳️ 77% of global citizens want their governments to act urgently on climate.

It's been such a pleasure to work on this campaign. ---- Some want us to believe the transition is impossible. It’s actually happening faster than we think.

People underestimate the speed of change. Exponential adoption of climate and nature solutions can help us get to net zero faster if we recognise and harness it. #mission2025 #climateaction

#Mission2025 What a breath of fresh air and optimism. Because when you are in the U bend, it feels important to remind yourself that the vast majority of human beings want to thrive on a healthy planet, rather than live through ever intensifying climate change consequences for their livelihoods, their peace and security, and ultimately their children’s health and happiness. There are so many human and business reasons just to get on with it!

As we aspire for a sustainable planet, let's boldly engage in the crucial conversations at COP28 on Dec 6th 2023. This pivotal climate action event brings together leaders, scientists and civil society. Anticipating deep dives into the global tipping points report - a groundbreaking analysis shaping our path towards positive change. #cop28 #climateaction

It’s time to have the post COP28 discussion. I think we as Africans will have to localize the global discussion that was held in Dubai such that we become part of community service to keep our communities clean. We need to start with the basic; “we haven’t take care of our environment enough and focusing mainly on fossil fuel is a high jump”. What’s our localized climate friendly alternatives for fossil fuel? Let’s pick the low hanging fruits first (Clean and plant greens) with the long term plans to transition into clean energy. Let’s find out what city like Kigali (Rwanda) is doing about waste management that made them the cleanest city in Africa. According to my sister Weyinmi Erikowa-Orighoye It’s time to Africaness the word Climate Change so it can have context for our people. Action Action Action.

Gen Z are seen to be the generation who will make impactful change when it comes to the climate debate. They are set to make fundamental decisions for the future of our world. Through Epson’s annual Climate Reality Barometer, we’ve asked them to select the words that reflect how they feel about climate change. As the UN climate talks begin at COP28, we will project their voices. #Epson #ProjectingVoices #ClimateRealityBarometer #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #COP28Our annual Climate Reality Barometer asked Gen Z to select words that reflect how they currently feel about the future of our planet. As decision-makers from around the world come together for #COP28, we will be projecting their voices.
