ACCELERATING CLIMATE ACTION

This decade is critical in setting the world on a path to a sustainable future

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is unequivocal: climate change is an urgent threat to human well-being and the health of the planet.

Since Google was founded, our efforts to mitigate climate change have started with our own operations, and we’ve worked hard to lead by example with the ultimate goal of driving larger systemic change. In our third decade of climate action, we’ll continue to take a science-based approach to our efforts, while sharing our own lessons and progress with others.
