Here’s What You Can Do Despite all the progress we’re seeing, there is still so much more to be done. Systems change is hard. If we don’t speak up, if we don’t engage with governments to be bold and to create a sustainable future for all, then we’ve already lost. Now more than ever, we need every business, every individual, and every community to join us on this journey and use their voices to influence policy and step up to the urgent challenge of climate change and all the opportunities that come with success: reduced inequality, improved health for human and other life on earth, a stronger and more resilient economy full of new jobs, and a future we all want and that we all will share. For companies interested in embarking on their own climate policy journey, here are some steps to get started: Start small and build. Identify the climate-related issues critical to your business as a starting point for engagement. Invest in your business partners. Develop trust and alignment so you can do even more together. Identify your points of leverage. Understand where you have the greatest policy influence based on the circumstances of your business and sector, such as your employee base. Expand your scope. Look beyond business critical issues and advocate for science-based policies aligned to a 1.5°C. Bring others with you. We’re more powerful together than we are apart, so look for opportunities to empower others to join you. It’s Time to Act The world is in a climate crisis. To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, we must speak up and work with governments to make a 1.5°C future a reality.
