As business and politics move from net-zero commitments to action, the major theme of this year’s climate week was “getting it done.”
Expectations and scrutiny of climate-linked promises and actions will increase. Several Brunswick partners attended the week’s events in New York and shared these key takeaways:
- Rich nations are under pressure to lead the energy transition
- Climate change and ESG are being politicized
- Better data will make organizations more accountable
- Banks want to work more closely on climate initiatives
- Economic instability is causing doubts about ESG
- For politicized climate action, see California
- Innovation and technology will drive the energy transition
- Government and the private sector can work better together
