Launching a new tool for climate action

Together with Åsa Löfgren, expert in climate economics, and Sverker Jagers, expert in environmental politics, Another Tomorrow has developed a tool for climate action: TransitionView.

The setting of ambitious carbon reduction targets has become standard in large companies, resulting in a proliferation of headline pledges to reach net zero. Despite this, emissions continue to accelerate in the wrong direction. Frustrated by widespread corporate inertia, Another Tomorrow teamed up with renowned climate researchers Åsa Löfgren and Sverker Jagers to identify the root causes and create a solution. The result? A strategic transition tool and framework that, for the first time ever, enables measurability of corporate transition capability. 

“TransitionView builds on decades of research in collective action. Through this tool, we have made these insights actionable for companies so they can serve as a guide in corporate climate strategy and decision-making”, say Åsa Löfgren and Sverker Jagers. 

A 2022 report from NewClimate Institute, evaluating the integrity of corporate climate pledges, revealed how these often are weaker than implied. When not accompanied by credible transition plans, pledges risk becoming nothing more than just paper products. This, combined with a general lack of regulatory oversight, means it’s more difficult than ever to distinguish between real climate leadership and dubious greenwashing. 

For climate claims to be credible, they must be backed up by detailed plans and tangible targets, clear budget allocations, and integrated into the firm-wide strategy. For climate claims to be achievable, human factors such as attitudes, awareness, and internal alignment are fundamental as these set the conditions for organisational change. TransitionView captures all this, enabling organisations to measure and monitor key factors which have a bearing on their transition capability — all while identifying critical gaps to address. 

“If we equate climate action with carbon accounting, companies will never reach climate goals nor adapt to the green economy. We urgently need to systematically improve areas like company vision, incentives and innovation pace if we are to speed up action,” adds Staffan Ekholm, CEO of Another Tomorrow.

The timing is critical. With increased scrutiny of corporate pledges by all stakeholders and the latest IPCC report raising further alarm of the dire climate situation, now is the time to act. There is also a massive economic upside to transitioning which should not be taken lightly. A new green economy is emerging, especially in the Nordic region which McKinsey predicts will become the ‘Silicon Valley of sustainability’, according to a report from late September last year. With the urgency and opportunity never being greater, 2023 is the year to not just stay compliant, but to take pole position and lead in the coming green economy.
