Accountability

The Accountability Accelerator works with over one hundred organizations with expertise in data and standards setting, benchmarking, campaigns and regulation to build a system of accountability that holds companies responsible for science-based targets and broader environmental performance.

TAKE ACTION

The accelerating climate and environmental crises are deeply rooted in our current economic systems. The way out of these crises requires extraordinary, systems-wide tranformations both in our economy and in the management of all global commons, within a very short timeframe. These changes cannot be achieved by one group of actors or one sector alone.

Here’s how you can join and support the movement:
