We drew the curtains on our 29th Liaison Delegate meeting two weeks ago, and I am profoundly inspired by the collective dedication and resolve demonstrated by each of our members during this important event. 有超过600名与会者和工作人员, this year's gathering marks the largest in WBCSD's history, a testament to the growing recognition that the world has turned to business leaders to drive solutions at scale.
The urgency of our mission has never been more apparent. With only six years remaining until the world reaches the critical 1.5°C threshold, the imperative for system transformation resonates louder than ever before. It is evident that we must act now to avert the most catastrophic effects of climate change.
While we acknowledge the challenges that lie ahead, I am confident that through collective and bold action, we can scale the solutions to drive a net-zero, nature-positive, 公平的未来. The last three days have been a testament to this belief, as we witnessed key moments and outcomes that underscore our shared commitment to meaningful change.
在我们的全体会议上, we delved into the essential pillars for business transformation, exploring strategies to drive innovation across value chains and enhance accountability and transparency. 此外, 我们与CEBDS的伙伴关系 to drive business action towards COP30 in Brazil signals our proactive approach towards global sustainability efforts.
The extension of the Business Commission to Tackle Inequality for another two years underscores our unwavering commitment to fostering a just transition. 另外, the launch of the Preparer Forum for Sustainability Disclosure and the funding to advance the standardization of avoided/intervention-based emissions accounting mark significant milestones in our journey toward comprehensive sustainability.
As we embark on our 30th year together, I hope to see accelerated effort from business. 与, I presented to our members five actionable steps that they can take to catalyze further progress:
- Collaborate with our 气候 team to identify and implement strategies to reduce business emissions by at least 10% more by 2030.
- Engage with our 自然 team to incorporate 3-5 nature-positive metrics into transition plan.
- Prioritize human rights by initiating discussions on inequality within companies boardroom.
- Conduct a board-level review of the risks and opportunities associated with climate and nature.
- Integrate sustainability into all business functions and communicate any education needs to our team.
期待, the upcoming China Two Lakes Dialogue in July will deepen practical business collaboration between leading companies and decision-makers within China and internationally. I then look forward to reconvening with all our members at our Council Member Meeting in September, where we will continue to chart the course towards a sustainable 公平的未来.
With everyone‘s unwavering commitment and dedication, 我有信心与正规博彩十大网站排名一起, we can make a truly significant and quantifiable difference. Let us have a reason to celebrate 30 years together at next years’ Liaison Delegate meeting.
