One Year, Seven Actions
As a society we can achieve big results in a year, but on climate we're still not moving fast enough.
At Climate Group, we've developed a Global To-Do list. Seven ambitious actions with a role for every government and business to deliver the speed of results we need.
Let's not waste another year.
“It’s time for a reality check. We can’t keep making ambitious commitments but then only half implementing them. We can’t afford to waste another year. One year, seven actions - this is our call to arms.”
Helen Clarkson OBE, Climate Group CEO
It's Time to act.

In many G20 countries permitting issues, regulations, and sometimes woefully unambitious targets, are acting as a drag on the roll-out of renewables. Climate Group is urging for governments to break down these barriers this year, to have any chance of reaching the G20 and COP28 commitment to triple global renewable energy capacity by 2030.

A fast and sustained reduction in methane emissions is critical to curbing global warming. Climate Group is calling for governments to build a more powerful global agency that by COP next year has the authority to audit fossil fuel companies’ declarations and delivery, and the resources and talent to tackle the biggest leaks.

Energy efficiency of buildings is still overlooked even though it makes money. Every business should set a target to become 5% more efficient in 12 months’ time by managing insulation, heating, cooling, lighting, industrial energy and using EVs. Equally, governments need to be bolder, the G20 should agree a minimum investment incentive, following the lead of the US.

Businesses and Governments have enormous purchasing power, amounting to $100bn's every year that can shift markets. So, it's time for every government and large business to set climate as a prequalification-criteria for their procurement. All of them should now be buying healthy, lower carbon food, setting targets for lower carbon steel and concrete, and buying 100 percent renewables and EVs.

To ensure the polluter pays, the G20 should agree a minimum new import tax on oil and gas. A few dollars per barrel would raise 100s of billions of dollars to support the transition. Every quarter, oil and gas companies are announcing billions in profits and not investing those in the transition.
