Eight prominent companies in tech and entertainment—including Amazon, Google and Disney—are joining forces with environmental groups and the United Nations to share ideas on addressing the climate crisis and also scaling funding for those solutions. (Axios)
Talking point: The businesses taking part in the alliance have all set ambitious climate goals, but achieving them is another story. The idea is to share resources and keep each other accountable by committing to absolute emissions cuts, not just offsets. Other notable tech companies making investments to combat climate change include Stripe, which recently announced it was making carbon-removal purchases from six new projects, and Shopify, which has released a document outlining its carbon-renewal strategy connected to a $5-million annual commitment to funding projects in the sector.
