We Mean Business

We Mean Business NGO network & corporate partners express support for COP23 vision of a "grand coalition" to accelerate climate action

"Making the Paris Vision a Reality", 2 Nov 2017

We Mean Business is a global coalition of nonprofit organizations working with the world’s most influential businesses to take action on climate change... 

We reaffirm our commitment to the Paris Agreement...We call on all Parties to do the same, and to implement their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) with sound policies...Just as Parties’ NDCs set emissions reduction targets, leading businesses are setting bold targets in their operations and across their value chains...We strongly support the grand coalition envisioned by the COP23 Presidency to unite civil society, the scientific community, the private sector and all levels of government to build the Paris vision...[refers to BT, Carlsberg Breweries, General Mills, Konica Minolta, Mars, Walmart, and Hewlett Packard]
