Climate change and biodiversity depletion are among the most pressing issues facing the world today, triggering economic transformation, driving fundamental business model change, and leading to a rethink of what ‘business as usual’ looks like.

      Business commitments to reach net-zero emissions and reduce their impacts on the planet have increased rapidly. As the global push toward decarbonization accelerates and the impacts of climate change play out globally, businesses are preparing for a low-carbon future — rising to stakeholder demands for accountability on plans, action, and progress.

      Strong decarbonization targets and robust transition plans to decarbonize business operations and supply chains, together with targets and actions to reduce impacts on nature, are now expected. Boards are under significant pressure to address environmental issues, and it is critical that businesses grasp the implications of climate and nature risks and opportunities.

      KPMG’s climate, decarbonization and nature teams form an extensive global organization of deep knowledge, established services, innovative technologies and carefully selected alliances, spanning topics such as climate and nature risk, decarbonization strategy and implementation, climate policy and incentives advisory, low-carbon deal advisory — and more.

      KPMG professionals can help you navigate this increasingly complex landscape, enabling you to deliver on your environmental ambitions for your business, people and the planet.
