The Global Turning Point
A Dutch Point of View
Time is no longer running out to act on climate change; it’s up, and the global economy is at a crossroads. But, if the world acts now to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century rapidly, the transformation of the economy would set the world up for stronger economic growth by 2070. In our five-part blog series, Deloitte experts will go in-depth on decarbonisation, climate risk, implications from a crisis & communications perspective, the general message, and we'll end the series with an article about reporting.

If the world acts quickly enough to achieve net zero emissions by the middle of this century, the resulting transformation could fuel stronger economic growth by 2070.

It may not be obvious yet, but the climate crisis is probably impacting your business. As the new Deloitte report: The Turning Point: A Global Summary makes clear, many organizations are already feeling the effects. That will continue in both the short and long term, as the number and severity of climate events increase.
