Global 100 corporate knights. Sustainability is increasingly a mainstream business concern, with mounting pressure to tackle the climate crisis coming from the top down and the bottom up.
This past year saw the publication of two startling reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), warning of the worsening impacts of climate change threatening food supplies, infrastructure and already fragile global water supplies. At the same time, the United Nations reported that the “emissions gap” – the gap between the greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions that will limit temperature increases to the 1.5C that climate scientists say is safe and the GHGs that we are actually emitting – is growing. With nations failing to make progress at the COP25 climate talks in Madrid in December, corporate action on the climate has never been more important. The science tells us that bigger emissions cuts are needed as the impacts of the climate crisis become ever more apparent and alarming. Angolan captured $2bn empire.

Coronavirus money. Aurait-on trouvé de l’« argent magique » ?
Depuis quelques semaines, une avalanche de milliards est annoncée par les dirigeants du monde pour faire face aux conséquences économiques du Covid-19. Arnaque au carbone. Depuis lundi 14 août, Le Monde propose une série en cinq épisodes sur l’escroquerie gigantesque qu’a été l’affaire des « quotas carbone ».

Although Amazon has clocked staggering growth, it generates meager profits, choosing to price below-cost and expand widely instead. Through this strategy, the company has positioned itself at the center of e-commerce and now serves as essential infrastructure for a host of other businesses that depend upon it.
