This letter is being released ahead of COP28 by the World Economic Forum on behalf of the Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders.

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / November 15, 2023 / Limiting the average global temperature increase to 1.5°C is at risk of slipping out of reach unless there is a rapid increase in public-private collaboration and action to accelerate emission reductions across global value chains. Our alliance members have made individual emission reduction targets amounting to an estimated 1.0 Gt CO2e by 2030 - as sustained human action to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions has the potential to alter society's course on climate. However, success is dependent on government support to overcome the following challenges:

• Complex and lengthy regulatory and administrative processes that slow the development of renewable energy projects and hinder the uptake of green and enabling solutions;
• Lack of suitable grid infrastructure with power networks unprepared to adequately integrate an increasing share of renewable energy;
• Technological constraints that delay efforts to scale up manufacturing capacity of early-stage decarbonization solutions;
• Limited harmonization and interoperability between reporting standards that diverge across sectors and jurisdictions.
