The race to Net Zero is now. Co2 emissions are on the rise.

The intensity and frequency of weather events is undermining our safety.

I am deeply concerned about the lack of progress the world is making on Net Zero.

Unless we see a U-turn on how all leaders take their societal responsibilities seriously, Co2 emissions will continue to rise, and we will not get to Net Zero on time.

This is the main conclusion of our Intertek 2025 World of Energy Intelligence Report.

I am calling on all CEOs of large and small companies to create the right level of accountability at all levels in their own organisations to win their race to Net Zero.

I am calling on all scientists to join forces, collaborate beyond borders and develop the technological breakthrough solutions we need to win the race to Net Zero.

I am calling on all regulators around the world to come together and quickly put a simple regulation in place asking all organisations - private or public - to report independently verified scope 1, scope 2 and direct scope 3 emissions every year. Creating that level of transparency will create the right level of accountability.

I am calling on the young generation to increase the pressure on all of us leaders to do more, faster. You might be less 20% of the world population, but you are 100% of the future.

The race to Net Zero is now. And we must come together now to get there.
