SDG Industry Matrix: Climate Extract

CLIMATE ACTION PRESENTS A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, AS WELL AS A RESPONSIBILITY

Drawing on insights from the SDG Industry Matrix, this Climate Extract identifies industry specific ideas for climate action. Although achieving all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is inextricably linked with climate action, this Extract focuses on SDGs 7, 12 and 13. It profiles opportunities to create ‘shared value’ which in the context of the SDGs represents the coming together of market potential, societal demands and policy action to create a more sustainable and inclusive path to economic growth, prosperity and well-being.

This Extract supports the broader purpose of the SDG Industry Matrix which has been jointly conceived and led by the United Nations Global Compact and KPMG International to convert the interest stimulated by the Sustainable Development Goals into strategic industry activities which grow in scale and impact.
