The Climate Ambition Accelerator is a six-month accelerator programme designed to equip companies with the knowledge and skills they need to accelerate progress towards setting science-based emissions reduction targets aligned with the 1.5℃ pathway—putting them on track for net-zero by 2050.
Delivered through the Global Compact Country Networks, participating companies will gain access to global best practices, peer-to-peer learning opportunities, practical activities, capacity building sessions and on-demand training. Led by the United Nations Global Compact, the Accelerator supports credible climate action across all companies' sizes, sectors and regions.
To take part in the Climate Ambition Accelerator, companies are required to be participants of the UN Global Compact or willing to join, and:
- Currently engaged with a Global Compact Country Network in your region or willing to join
- Interested in setting ambitious emissions reduction targets aligned with climate science at the pace and scale required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement
- Willing to appoint two representatives to participate in the accelerator activities and events and an executive-level representative to follow accelerator developments, provide support and participate in high-level events
