The signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015 marked an important milestone in intensifying efforts to create a sustainable future.
Charting a new course in the global climate efforts, the accord aims to open up access to finance and technology to drive national sustainability agendas, the ultimate ambition being to keep global temperature rises to well under two degrees Celsius within this century.
Although brokered by the United Nations and politicians, the Paris Agreement is also being fervently backed by some of the largest multi-national businesses.
More than 500 companies have made public commitments to the sustainability targets outlined in Paris, with an increasing amount targeting a zero-carbon objective.
