Plan C - Rethinking Corporate Climate Commitments - Livestream

For the past 15 years, companies have been seen as central to addressing climate change, given their emissions and level of accountability to civil society and the public. However, the current system of greenhouse gas inventories and related interventions -particularly for indirect emissions (Scope 3) - has proven inefficient, as many companies lack the resources and expertise to meaningfully address these impacts. Despite significant corporate spending on current net zero targets, global emissions continue to rise. This seminar will explore a proposal known as “Plan C,” an alternative approach meant to simplify corporate goal setting and action while also increasing impact. Plan C envisions a system where companies contribute to centralized funds or platforms focused on high-impact climate interventions. These funds, accountable for measurable outcomes, would streamline the allocation of resources and expertise to a more targeted suite of activities, offering an efficient way to maximize the private sector's contribution to reducing global emissions though voluntary action.
