Ahead of World Climate Week, a coalition announced that 87 companies pledged to reduce emissions, aiming for net zero by 2050. This aligns with the UN's climate goals to limit global warming to 2.7°F above preindustrial levels. The UN Secretary General praised the private sector's involvement and urged more countries to join. Companies like Levi Strauss, L'Oreal, and Nestle are part of this initiative, representing significant global emissions.
