There is broad agreement that reversing the climate crisis is the biggest challenge we as a society face, and enterprise has a significant role to play. It is critical that the technology transformations reshaping industries are sustainable ones. There is no longer any doubt that things must change - that message has well and truly landed - but achieving that change is proving a far tougher nut to crack.
The figures do not make for pretty reading: in excess of 500 companies have made public commitments to sustainability targets in accord with the Paris Agreement, with an increasing amount targeting a zero-carbon objective. More than 90 of the world's largest cities have joined C40, a network of the world's megacities committed to climate change, and New York City recently signed the world's most ambitious carbon reduction plan.
