Protesters at the recent COP26 summit in Glasgow carried gravestones with the numbers of COP conferences claiming they had failed to address climate change issues. Picture: GettyWith news cycles dominated by yet more deadly floods, heatwaves, and wildfires, we heard stark warnings from the UN that the latest climate science was now a “code red for humanity” and time was clearly running out for serious action to protect our planet.
It really feels like we’ve reached a point where there is almost universal acceptance that extreme damage is being done to our planet, and that we need to act fast. When you consider this finding, it is clear that we cannot address the climate crisis without also addressing the issue of corporate accountability.
For years we have allowed corporations to grow in power and influence, with profits soaring for the few. At the same time communities that Trócaire works with, many living next to great natural wealth, have suffered from exploitation. Corporations have been effectively allowed to police themselves and voluntary measures are simply not working.
