Climate change has been a hot topic for years, yet it seems the world’s largest companies are making little, if any, progress when it comes to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. According to a recent report, companies responsible for more than half of global industrial emissions have made almost no progress in reducing their carbon footprints since 2018. This is despite growing fears from governments and the public alike about the catastrophic impact of climate change. The report indicates that these businesses are failing to take the necessary steps to combat the climate crisis, which means they are a long way off from achieving their net-zero commitments.
Many companies have promised to take steps towards reducing their carbon footprint, but few have enough tangible results to show for it. The recent study raises concerns not only about the lack of progress but also whether countries are doing enough to hold the companies accountable. Climate change is a pressing problem worldwide, and it is essential that businesses, governments, and individuals work together to mitigate it. While it is difficult to change a whole industry overnight, it is crucial that we continue to hold these corporations accountable for their actions and encourage them to take more action towards a sustainable future. Ultimately, the global community needs to come together, act and forge forward with aggressive policy to limit climate change and save our planet.
