McKinsey: Companies are expanding their environment/nature-related targets to beyond carbon and the proportion of companies focusing on multiple dimensions of targets is increasing. Biodiversity saw the largest percentage increase.

Seconding all these - Evil Does Not Exist, The End, The Wild Robot on the narrative side and a whole host of incredible docs. We had 60 films at CFF this year, award winners here www.climatefilmfest.com/2024-award-w...
