Happy National Recycling Day, the week of COP26 has come to a close and the world’s climate problems are solved 🌎 …
Not quite, but there is a shift in momentum, especially in the private sector. Lord Karan Kilimoria, president of CHI, is feeling positive about COP’s outcome.
“It’s not just countries setting targets, it’s businesses setting targets and it’s businesses walking the talk as well. It’s a watershed Cop, there’s no question about it.”
The truth of the matter is, the private sector is now in the spotlight. Legislation has been far from actionable, and companies have the opportunity to demonstrate true stewardship.
Don’t lose hope — draw some inspiration from the great Noam Chomsky’s take on the climate crisis.
✨ “With regard to being hopeful, we have two choices. We can either give up hope and help ensure that the worst will happen, as it will, or we can grasp the opportunities that exist and pursue them, and maybe we can make it a better world.” ✨
Sorry if that wasn’t quite as hopeful as expected. But, on the bright side — amazing solutions to our climate crisis are emerging every day. Innovators are pushing the boundaries of science and tech and trillions of dollars are backing them.
🍃 It is time we create the momentum, grasp existing opportunities, and make the world better.
