Overview

Driven with purpose and profit – Climate Action & Creating Impact

Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges of our time. It is a problem that threatens our planet’s ecosystems and the very survival of mankind. It is the fact that global temperatures rose about 1.98 OF (1.1OC) from 1901 to 2020 and are set to rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius in the not-to-distant future. It is understood that despite this increase in temperature, there are other challenges like sea-level rise, changes in weather patterns like drought and flooding and much more.

Working towards solving the world’s biggest sustainability challenges and bringing about large systematic changes and impacting people’s life, we at ET Edge, The Times Group are happy to build a momentum with our initiative of Global Sustainability Alliance which is an impact led community of thought leaders who are working towards transforming bold climate ambitions to action. The group of people activates leadership globally to transform economies for people, nature, and climate.
