ClimateVoices

"Be bold! It's time to step up — and speak up. All of us — those inside companies and those outside — spend too much time celebrating incremental change in an era where audacious step-change is needed. "

"Many companies talk a big game on climate – but their lobbying dollars and trade association memberships actually slow climate policy down. "

"Attune to your colleagues, peers and leaders, show up as open and supportive, and convene people around all kinds of amazing opportunities to dig in and dream together what is possible. "

"We share a common vision with ClimateVoice that the employees are a critical leverage point to holding businesses accountable to their current commitments and applying pressure to go beyond them. "

"Depending on companies to do the moral thing or on voluntary industry initiatives has not worked. Assumptions that more renewable energy will displace fossil fuels or that more corporate climate reporting will deliver action have not borne out."

"Change must come from the bottom and the top, and there's a real opportunity for employees to push leadership to do more on climate."

"There is a process and journey involved in being seen as an employee leader and understanding the key issues to be addressed to drive meaningful change. "

"Evidence tells us that there is but a narrow window of opportunity that exists at this point for preserving our 'fragile moment’."

"Our F Minus approach with trade associations will be to demand that they also cut ties with fossil fuel lobbyists."

"The business model of the fossil fuel industry is destroying the future and the planet."

"Engaging in climate activism at work is essential. And I can tell you from experience – it works. "

"It is clear to me that the vast mismatch between the spending efforts of renewable energy trade associations and fossil fuel trade associations gives opponents of climate action a significant advantage in the policy process."
