These CEOs have a climate message for leaders at COP31

This video is part of: Centre for Nature and Climate

More than 100 CEOs have published an open letter ahead of November’s COP31 meeting in Antalya, Türkiye. The Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders has a clear message: the low-carbon transition is a strategic economic opportunity. They are asking policy-makers for faster delivery, supported by stable, predictable and climate-science-aligned policy frameworks that unlock innovation, investment and market growth. In this video, Alliance members explain why they felt compelled to take action - including Ester Baiget of Novonesis, Juvencio Maeztu of Ingka Group (IKEA), Roy Jakobs of Philips, and World Economic Forum Managing Director Sebastian Buckup.
