the need for collaboration
why is collaboration important?
Innovation depends on collaboration, often between unlikely partners, and it often involves the adaptation and application of technologies from other industries.
Achieving innovation for net zero will require collaboration between government, local authorities, business, the public and other stakeholders. Companies will need to take a multi-stakeholder approach, opening dialogue internally with employees and unions and externally with important stakeholders like suppliers, policymakers and civil society.
Examples of this include, Allianz’s work through the Net-Zero Asset Owners Alliance, Danone’s leadership within One Planet Business for Biodiversity and Salesforce’s spearheading of the Step Up Coalition.
Achieving innovation for net zero will require collaboration
ggr removal technologies
There are various types of Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) technologies which recapture already emitted greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and ocean.
Nature-based Solutions
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) involve working with and enhancing nature to achieve multiple benefits for people, including removing CO2 from the air, and aiding adaptation to climate change.
Equity AND Inclusion
Pathways to achieving global net zero emissions must be framed by questions of equity and justice. A just transition to a net zero future needs to be inclusive of a range of actors as well as a range of views, including those relating climate justice.
Green Recovery and Resilience
A green recovery from COVID-19 could accelerate GDP growth in the immediate future, establish new industries and jobs for the coming decade, and deliver a sustainable climate for the next century.
