Last week, the latest IPCC report hit headlines globally. Issuing the most extensive warning yet on the risks of rising global temperatures, the new study states that going past 1.5C is dicing with the planet’s livability. And the 1.5C temperature “guard rail” could be exceeded in just 12 years, in 2030.

There’s no escaping the fact that change is simply not happening fast enough. We need to take solutions to scale, re-thinking entire markets in the process. Innovation is no longer enough, now is the time for disruption.

In light of this, Business Green and GreenhousePR set out to deliver a new report that shares insights from inspirational, forward-thinking entrepreneurs re-writing the rule book by disrupting traditional markets and accelerating the shift towards a net zero carbon economy.

It was brilliant to have Verv CEO and Founder Peter Davies interviewed (page 11) alongside a great line-up of innovators in the space all working towards the same goal. Check it out here!
