In a speech to assembled heads of state in September 2019, United Nations (U.N.) Secretary-General António Guterres spoke to the gravity of our reality: “The climate emergency is a race we are losing, but it is a race we can win. The climate crisis is caused by us and the solutions must come from us. We have the tools: technology is on our side.1”
In December 2015, during COP21 (also known as the Paris Agreement) Schneider Electric made a firm resolution to help address the climate crisis. Ever since, our commitments have kept pace with science-based targets designed to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. In the cascading urgency of climate change, we believe there are reasons to be hopeful and reasons to work harder — and there are no reasons not to act.
