Ceres president Mindy Lubber today heralded the final international agreement which was announced tonight at the Le Bourget. The historic agreement includes unprecedented carbon-reducing pledges from 186 countries representing more than 90 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions; a binding commitment to limit global temperature rise to well under 2 degrees Celsius, along with a stretch goal of 1.5 degrees; and a long-term goal of achieving peak global emissions as soon as possible and rapid reductions thereafter to achieve net zero emissions by the second half of the century.

However, with negotiators working to establish international commitments that are achievable, the focus is seemingly on the "who" and "why" at the expense of the "how." I think this misses a significant opportunity, especially given the active participation of global business leaders.
