COP22 | Featured Initiative | News & Resources | Business Spotlight
Welcome to We Mean Business’ monthly newsletter bringing you the latest from our blog, as well as news, events and reports about business committed to acting on climate change.
This month we are excited to be heading to COP22 with the Paris Agreement having entered into force. This is one of the fastest UN multilateral agreements the history of the United Nations. Governments are as committed as ever to realizing quick and ambitious climate action for a cleaner, brighter future. And business mirrors this commitment.
The entry into force of the Paris Agreement just ten months after COP21 is a defining moment for the global economy. It sends an unmistakable signal to business and investors that the global transition to a low-carbon economy is urgent, inevitable, and accelerating faster than we ever believed possible.”
