At the COP 25 Climate Change Conference in Madrid, UN Secretary-General António Guterres encouraged business leaders to implement and recommend solutions and policies to address climate change. The climate crisis is advancing, and the consequences are already visible. According to Guterres, action will be required from businesses, governments, and civil society.
"While we see some incremental steps toward sustainable business models, they fall short of the scope or scale needed. We don't need an incremental approach, but a transformative one. We need businesses to come together, supported by science, taking swift and ambitious action across their operations and value chains," said UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
