The new IPCC report reinforces that global economies must take bold measures to rapidly reduce emissions in line with limiting global temperature rise to 1.5C. We urge the world’s governments to go all in by incentivizing the global economy to shift away rapidly from polluting activities, and to scale up climate solutions. This is essential for getting all actors across the value chain on board, and for helping avoid every fraction of a degree of temperature rise that will define whether or not we can look forward to a thriving, secure and resilient future.Gonzalo Sáenz de Miera – Director of Climate Change and Alliances, Iberdrola

Climate change is a systemic challenge; we must work together to break down barriers and release our shared potential; Moving for Climate NOW does just that.Sam Gardner - Head of Climate Change & Sustainability, ScottishPower

Many countries have put forward new commitments for COP26. While climate ambition has never been higher, energy transitions have a long way to go. Governments must give the signal to drive investment in a net-zero future.Tom Howes - Head of the Energy and Environment Division, International Energy Agency (IEA)

For me, the greatest achievement of COP 26 would be to move from ambition to implementation on the part of all concerned parties – above all, central governments and major corporations.Paul Simons - Senior Fellow, Jackson Institute for Global Affairs at Yale University

Local action will play a key part of delivering net-zero. Cities and communities are the places where people can come together around common goals, where collective action can be harnessed, and where we can start to break down unhelpful silos to drive more ambitious action.Rebecca Ford - Senior Lecturer, University of Strathclyde

It's crucial that the vulnerable don’t get left behind in the journey to Net Zero.Gerry Gilmurray - Social Obligations Coordinator, ScottishPower

We need systemic changes. We must start by questioning everything we know and do. If something is wrong, we must improve it and make it right. We must educate ourselves, raise awareness, take responsibility and understand that everything is interconnected.Catalina Muñoz - Assistant professor, Institute for Sustainable Development of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile

COP26 must act a springboard for an accelerated response to the climate crisis and partnerships across sectors will be critical to this. Moving for Climate NOW will help build those very same partnerships!Sam Gardner - Head of Climate Change & Sustainability, ScottishPower

No part of society can act against climate change alone. We all need to work together through collaboration and partnership, to protect those in greatest need and give us all a future.Hazel Gulliver - Director of Engagement, ScottishPower

The low carbon energy transition is just one of the key deliverables to achieving ~NetZero at COP26 – however it stands to act as the catalyst for several others. We need to electrify everything using clean, green power – ScottishPower is leading the way with 100% green generation.Lindsay McQuade - CEO ScottishPower Renewables

My work with IRENA reminds me every day that a clean, renewable energy future is not only possible, but also inevitable. The only question is whether the energy transition will happen in time to stave off a climate catastrophe. I urge the negotiators in Glasgow to clarify the concrete action they will be taking over the next 10 years not only to implement the Paris agreement, but to further ratchet up ambition.Claire Kiss - Associate Programme Officer, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)

Despite progress ahead of COP26, current climate pledges close less than 20% of the emissions gap between today’s policy settings and a net-zero by 2050 path. Technologies and policies, of which over 40% are cost-effective, can close this gap by 2030.Luca Lo Re - International climate policy analyst, International Energy Agency

Realizing the promise of Paris will require drawing the energy and climate change communities together in a closer, more trusting partnership.Paul Simons - Senior Fellow, Jackson Institute for Global Affairs at Yale University
