COP27 UN CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE

Moving from pledges to real action, focused on practicalities to accelerate global climate action.

This month, COP27 brings together leaders from around the world to “jointly enhance and accelerate the implementation of climate action and follow up on our collective commitments and pledges.” This means moving on from the commitments, from Rio 1992 to Glasgow 2021, to substantive outcomes through emissions reduction, scaled-up adaptation efforts and enhanced flows of appropriate finance.

Making this happen requires bold and rapid collective action. That’s why, at Capgemini, we’re focused on developing and implementing solutions that are practical but also ambitious, using our in-depth knowledge of fast-changing technologies, plus a proven track record of leading sustainable transformation for many industries. Leveraging the multiplier effect of sustainability, innovation, and people – through data, technologies, and engineering – our focus is to work collaboratively to achieve a low carbon and sustainable world.

We believe it’s important to raise these issues openly and share our collective thinking to help organizations become more ambitious and act decisively. Capgemini is present at COP27, to demonstrate our commitment and share our insights, including a new report from the Capgemini Research Institute with a timely analysis of sustainability trends within business. Capgemini executives will also be on stage at the partner event, World Climate Summit, contributing to the debate, including CEO Aiman Ezzat, Cyril Garcia and Courtney Holm (13-14 November 2022).

COP27’s ambition makes it clear that the time for talk is over. Instead it’s time to move rapidly towards full, timely, inclusive, and at-scale action on the ground. Here we’re sharing our insights on how to tackle sustainability challenges – we’re ready to help organizations take that leap forward with practical and concrete steps, to ensure that we get the future we all want.

The future starts now.

“a sustainable future is achievable only with deep collaboration with our clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders.”

Aiman Ezzat, CEO

How can business best respond to the IPCC’s latest report?

With more than 3.6 Billion people already living in zones highly vulnerable to climate change and many ecosystems at the point of no return, IPCC scientists have determined that the impacts are irreversible, and UN Secretary General António Guterres declared on February 28, 2022, that unchecked carbon pollution was “forcing the world’s most vulnerable on a frog march to destruction”. Forceful, emotive words. And few would disagree with the Secretary General. But the recent assessment report from IPCC working group II argues that it is now time to adapt or die. This might be overstating things, but the report must be heard as a call to action for people and countries globally.

Reinventing work and sustainability

Societal and environmental changes have accelerated in recent years. New regulations and preferences are putting pressure on organizations to either reinvent or retire. As such, sustainable strategies and people-centric models are transforming business worldwide. Many leaders are beginning to recognize the need for long-term resilience but are unsure how to achieve this.
With the right holistic strategy, organizations can leverage data and implement a digital transformation that empowers workforces with hybrid models while meeting stakeholder expectations. By actively prioritizing sustainability, organizations can reinvent themselves and meet ESG targets that benefit us all.

Rethink: why sustainable product design is the need of the hour

With an overriding focus on “user-centricity,” modern product design may have made sense in a purely commercially driven business framework, but it can have negative consequences further down the line – both for other stakeholders and for the environment.
We wanted to understand the impact of sustainable product design and understand how far organizations have progressed with embedding sustainability in their design decisions. In this report we explored the topic of sustainable product design in depth.
