WBCSD | Climate and Energy

Energy systems power growth in all economies. We are on the cusp of a clean energy future. Although fossil fuels will continue to form an important part of economic growth for the near future, a shift to the low carbon economy means a rapid scale-up in new and established alternative power sources and technologies.

We Must Keep the Paris Agreement a Priority

Sustainable Development Goals

Business Will Continue the Journey to Deliver the Paris Agreement
Yesterday’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement by the US Federal Government is not good news. However, businesses from around the world will not give up and will double down on their commitments to work together, in order to continue to find new and rewarding solutions in all countries of the world. The Paris Agreement has made the transformation to a low-carbon economy inevitable. This transition will in the long run be the only way to deliver successful financial results for companies, strong economies with jobs everywhere and a planet that is liveable for all.
