During the Year of the Tiger, the world must work hard to realise the commitments made at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow. A dynamic approach is required to significantly upscale global efforts to transition to clean energy and to limit the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius. There are undoubtedly many challenges ahead.

However, for businesses that are able to grasp sustainability and energy transition, there are real opportunities for growth driven by increased efficiency, smarter working practices and the co-benefits created by net zero transition.
