Greenko takes Climate Pledge, joins 200 cos

Mumbai: Greenko, a leading renewable energy company, has become a signatory to ‘The Climate Pledge’. It joins more than 200 companies who have pledged to achieve net-zero carbon by 2040.

The announcement comes in response to the findings of the latest report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which underscores the need for increased urgency in addressing the climate crisis. Experts have pointed out that unless there are immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, limiting warming to close to 1.5 or even 2 degrees Celsius will be out of reach. The Climate Pledge’s current signatories are expected to collectively mitigate 1.98 billion metric tons (BMT) of carbon emissions from a 2020 baseline, representing 5.4% of global annual emissions.
