This guest blog is by Harry Humfrey, co-founder of a start-up business, aklimate, who have a very practical approach to helping businesses move towards zero carbon emissions.
aklimate was started with a simple goal, to help businesses of all sizes join the net zero revolution. While it is a real cause for optimism that 65% of the world economy is now under a net zero pledge of some kind, much of the action has been confined thus far to governments and huge global corporates, even though half of business and industry emissions come from small and medium sized businesses. It is crucial for the 6M UK SMEs to have a clear path to net zero carbon if we are going to avoid the worst effects of climate change.
