21st Century Climate Innovation Assessment
A plethora of initiatives for climate action exist, but almost all are based on a “static problem approach”, where focus is on how large companies and cities shall reduce their own emissions. Often this static problem approach results in an “accounting response” where the actual contribution of the company, city, country, etc. to a sustainable future and a 1.5 °C trajectory is less important than the ability to claim some level of carbon reduction, or carbon neutrality, sometimes even through using offsetting.
