Let's help the world get there. Let's use our considerable power to pressure governments and suppliers. Let's redefine what's possible. Let's act as if our world, our company depended on it.
Bosch committed to being carbon neutral worldwide by 2020. Walmart set a goal to be powered by 50% renewable sources by 2025, and has currently achieved 28% of that. Microsoft pledged to cut emissions by 75% by 2030.
In the Paris Agreement, countries agreed to limit the increase in global heating to 1.5 °C. Amazon itself committed to the Paris Agreement. What that means is that we we all need to radically cut our emissions, Amazon included. Why don't we lead?https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2017/06/05/trump-paris-climate-amazon-microsoft-starbucks.html …
What makes you think we aren't? The reticence to make glib commitments makes me think that tangible changes are in the works, but they can't be talked about yet. If there weren't plans for a bold new path forward, I suspect they would be far looser with their words.
None of those "commitments" give me any confidence. They are the sort of quick, glib responses companies make when they won't be held accountable. By 2030, if we don't have a handle on our GHG emissions, we are past the point of methane hydrate destabilization by most models.
But at least they exist to hold them accountable. They also serve to inspire others. But I agree -- all companies, governments.... everyone needs to be doing more, much, much more.
