Details
Report: Prof. Dr. Joyeeta Gupta, a distinguished professor of environment, opened the council by emphasizing the urgent need to leave fossil fuels underground. Her session highlighted the importance of a just transformation, requiring changes in demand-side management and production and consumption patterns. Companies must address not only Scope 1 and 2 emissions but also Scope 3 emissions, involving the entire value chain. This comprehensive approach ensures true zero emissions, rather than merely achieving net zero.
