Unlocking ambition: top corporate and sub-national climate commitments
Unlocking ambition: Top corporate and sub-national climate commitments from CDP and The Climate Group identifies 200 companies, states, regions, and cities that have committed to full de-carbonization. The briefing is the third in a series of reports tracking the ambitious climate commitments made by “non-state” actors (i.e. non-national governments), in the lead up to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 21) taking place in Paris. Specifically: 87 companies have set goals to reduce their GHG emissions by 80-100%, or to procure 100% of their power from renewable sources, including Google (US), Infosys (India) and Broad Group (China), and 23 states and regions and 90 cities, including California and Basque Country, and Yokohama and Vancouver, have declared similar goals that will strategically position their communities and economies for low-carbon growth and prosperity.
