In signing up to the Alliance, members commit to using their influence to advocate for policy that supports an economy-wide transition to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This includes encouraging national government to improve its emissions reduction targets in its revised Nationally Determined Contribution due out in 2021 and to set long-term strategies to reach the net-zero goal – and to support provincial and municipal governments to do the same
A growing groundswell of unity of purpose and ambitious action by the private sector, labour, subnational governments and civil society as demonstrated in the Alliance provides the support from actors in the economy that government needs to do more.
