What?
The International Energy Agency has forecast that emissions could fall by 8% this year, over 2.5 billion tonnes of C02. Whilst that is good news for the environment, even this level of reduction would not come close to bringing the “danger line” of a 1.5C increase in global temperatures within reach. Global emissions would need to fall by some 7.6% every year this decade in order meet this.
As the world recovers from COVID-19, there seems a growing acceptance that business as usual cannot be as it was. However, there is a danger that the drive to rebuild economies, whatever the cost, could remove sustainability from central policy.
EU ministers and others are making the case for a sustainable recovery, momentum is growing, and digital transformation will be a critical component of that. So how can your agency help clients innovate and create a business model that’s truly sustainable?
Key takeaways:
· How to tap into the momentum
· How to make sustainability a marketable offering
· The tools, insights and innovations you can offer clients to make transformation easier/more successful
