Beyond Science-Based Targets: A Blueprint for Corporate Action on Climate and Nature

This paper introduces the Corporate Climate Mitigation Blueprint in hopes of cutting through the noise and focusing on the actions that can underpin a truly effective corporate strategy for mitigating the effects of climate change and protecting nature. This Blueprint is framed in the context of broader corporate climate efforts, and thus also highlights three additional critical elements which must be done in parallel—advocating for climate policy such as carbon pricing and sector-specific incentives, collaborating with peers to achieve lasting climate progress, and improving company and ecosystem resilience in the face of global warming.
