The world faces a deepening planetary emergency – and is on a reckless path toward catastrophic climate change – having already over-stepped six of nine scientifically-identified planetary boundaries. A system-wide approach to solving the climate crisis is now required to ensure reliable climate and planetary boundary governance for the Earth as a whole. In its report Governing Our Planetary Emergency, the Climate Governance Commission has recommended bold and concrete steps to catalyze a shift in global governance for the benefit of all, with proposed pathways to address the planetary emergency. The Climate Governance Commission is formed by its Commissioners and Contributing Experts, a group of diverse and high-level experts, who advise on and contribute to proposals regarding global climate governance, planet boundary governance and related global ecological challenges. CGC aims to address this crucial gap by developing, proposing, and building partnerships that promote feasible, high-impact global governance solutions for urgent and effective climate action to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C or less.

In May 2022, at the Stockholm Forum on Peace and Development, SIPRI’s Environment of Peace initiative launched a major report for policymakers: Environment of Peace: Security in a New Era of Risk. The Environment of Peace initiative was established in May 2020 to assemble the latest research on how climate change and environmental degradation impact international peace and security. The research team consisted of over 30 people from around the world and was guided by an international expert panel and a panel of youth experts. The research carried out by the initiative shows that the environmental crisis is increasing risks to security and peace worldwide, notably in countries that are already fragile. The Environment of Peace reports survey the evolving risk landscape and document a number of developments that indicate entry points for integrated responses to the crises—in international law and policy, in peacekeeping operations and among non-governmental organizations.

IPE and PECC released the first year’s Climate Action CATI evaluation results of the photovoltaic (PV) listed company. The report indicates that many PV listed companies are actively responding to the requirements of the dual-carbon policy, implementing energy-saving and emission reduction projects, and carrying out green transformation along the industrial chain. Report also suggests that the majority of PV listed companies need to benchmark themselves against industrial leaders to improve corporate and supply chain climate governance. We thus call for multi-stakeholders to jointly advance the zero carbon supply chains in the PV industry.
