Question asked in the headline below: With the planet warming at a record pace, why are so many companies retreating from their climate targets? 🤔
Answer: Because making huge profits is far more important to them than anything else!
____________________________
In what is becoming a trend, a number of companies are abandoning their carbon emissions targets — in a year scientists have determined is likely to end up being the hottest on record.
Earlier this month, Volvo announced it was dropping its goal of having a fully electric lineup of vehicles by 2030.
In the summer, Air New Zealand said it was abandoning a pledge to reduce its emissions by about 29% by 2030.
And in March, Shell announced it was easing its target of reducing the total "net carbon intensity" of all the energy products it sells by 20%.
The message from a lot of these companies is that meeting their climate targets has become too costly, a theme emphasized by some American banks last month at NYC Climate Week, an annual gathering for organizations to discuss global warming.
In some cases, climate action has become more challenging with the emergence of new revenue streams. Take Microsoft and Google, which admit their investments in AI infrastructure — and the energy that requires — make it impossible to meet their net zero targets.
