Thousands of businesses have already signed up along with cities, regions and universities. It already represents over half of global GDP and covers nearly a quarter of CO2 emissions. For more information please visit this website. - Your organisation has already joined this global initiative OR
- Your organisation is interested to know more about this campaign and keen to join.
It would be fantastic to hear from you! We would be forming an interest group on sustainability in 2021, as we would like to work together with our members to multiply the impact of our work to mitigate climate change, as COP 26 draws close. If your organisation is keen to join this interest group, please contact Hafiz too. We look forward to your participation. |
