Every day we hear new announcements and ambitions from companies in their efforts to become more sustainable. Unfortunately, not all of these are credible. Some companies try to reduce their impact by offsetting their emissions without tackling the underlying problems. But we cannot offset our way out of a climate emergency. Companies need to limit their impacts and emissions by as much as possiblе before looking into alternative solutions. To help the corporate sector in this crucial transformation, WWF has designed seven steps for climate leadership. Those steps ensure action is in line with science and support the needed societal shifts to achieve a 1.5°C future. Check out the video to learn more.

“The building sector is responsible for 37% of global CO2 emissions. This shows without doubt that urgent action is needed. We need to decarbonize the sector and deliver sustainable, healthy and affordable buildings to meet the Paris Agreement.”
