The UK is hostingCOP26, the United Nations’ climate negotiations, in Glasgow this November. If the climate crisis is to be solved businesses need to commit to climate action. But what does that mean in practise? It is more than cutting plastic, having green champions, or even setting a net zero target. It’s about finding ways to create positive impacts for communities through your business’ plans. Although every step is important, to achieve the change that only businesses with their reach and influence can, we need scale, ambition and plans – climate positive action plans.

为什么气候积极行动计划适合每项业务

在社区狗万买球下载(BITC)的业务,我们的Challenge 2030 campaignaims to make the climate crisis history in the next decade through every business becoming climate positive. To achieve this businesses need to develop climate positive action plans. These should:

  • have a climate resilience strategy as part of the plan. It should that assess the risks and opportunities of both the transition to net zero carbon and the impacts of climate breakdown on their business model. It should also embed plans to address them into business as usual
  • commit to increasing the speed at which the business will achieve net zero and align to比赛归零where possible.
  • be developed and implemented with diverse stakeholders to make sure different perspectives are heard and positive outcomes for communities are delivered.

Businesses of all sizes should take two steps, one of which is being made mandatory by the UK government. BITC are supporting our members to take these two steps.

  1. Become a气候相关财务披露的工作组(TCFD)支持者。

    This gives you the framework to review risks and opportunities to your company and get ahead of legislation that will impact all UK businesses in the next five years. This blog has more about报告环境相关的风险时将成为英国强制性的.
  2. 声明净零碳承诺,尽可能靠近2030,与a对齐比赛归零initiative如果可能的话。

    It can be daunting to make a commitment that you don’t now how to achieve. But we are all in the same boat and need to find new ways to collaborate on shared challenges. Starting now will put you in good stead as policy responses ramp up after COP26.

目前的进展是什么?

We know that many businesses are far from climate positive right now. Insights fromBITC’s 2019/20 Responsible Business Tracker® Insights Report,表明:

  • one third have assessed how climate change will impact their value chain’s ability to deliver core products and services
  • 五分之一有净零碳目标
  • one third have the resources in place to deliver.

Recent analysis of our network showed that 24% of BITC’s members have now made net zero commitments, which is good to see, but the number is still too low.
