Time to deliver: Business call to action for ambitious and investible NDCs

Climate change is no longer a distant threat but a present reality. To protect our communities, our economies, and our future, we need to address the primary causes of dangerous global heating: the relentless burning of fossil fuels and continued degradation of nature. 

Developed by We Mean Business Coalition and partners in collaboration with leading businesses from a range of countries and sectors, our call to action outlines what’s needed from governments to unlock private sector investment and create the thriving clean-energy and nature-positive economies of the future.

Leading businesses are calling on governments, led by the G20 countries, to create ambitious NDCs backed by clear targets, policies, and timelines.

Join the Fossil to Clean campaign

With bold business and political leadership, we can scale clean energy and end our reliance on fossil fuels.

The Fossil to Clean campaign is a global movement of businesses going from fossil fuels to clean solutions.

Decisive leadership on climate action and transitioning away from fossil fuels is a route to making economies more energy secure, more competitive and creating new sources of growth and jobs.

Hundreds of companies are speaking out in support of bold action on fossil fuel phase-out.
