Hope COP26 will Deliver More Concrete Actions in Support of Accelerated Transition to Net Zero: Schneider Electric

Schneider Electric, is actively supporting global climate change efforts at the upcoming COP26 meeting, with experts on the ground and the release of a flagship report that offers fresh perspectives on our planet’s pathway to decarbonization.
 

“We welcome the commitments already made by numerous governments around the world, and hope that COP26 will deliver more concrete actions in support of an accelerated transition to net zero,” says Olivier Blum, Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer at Schneider Electric.

“Our key finding is that changing consumption patterns, driven by an appetite for the progress that new technologies herald, will help bring about a less carbon-intensive economy. In other words, keeping global warming to 1.5ºC may be more feasible than we think, because as the economy modernizes and provides increased benefits to people, it also decarbonizes,” says Vincent Petit, Head of the Schneider Electric ™ Sustainability Research Institute and SVP of Global Strategy Prospective and External Affairs at Schneider Electric.
