"We need to change the communications and talk about climate contribution rather than carbon neutrality...You should buy carbon credits as a corporate, to take responsibility for your unavoidable and unabated emissions. But dont talk about carbon neutrality. Talk about your climate finance contribution, your climate contribution, your contribution to the one and a half degree world.”
