A reactivated global Corporate Leaders Network (CLN) was launched at COP27 on November 11. Its aim is to catalyze national business advocacy on climate policy, uniting policy, NGO, and international business stakeholders to manage risks and seize opportunities in the transition to a low-carbon society.

Building on relationships fostered by Corporate Leaders Groups (CLGs) since 2010, the CLN formally re-establishes collaboration with global business groups. It will support the creation of new corporate leaders' groups worldwide, strengthening the network. Previous members are reinvited to join if their missions align.

Amara Ifeji, 20, recognized the lack of environmental opportunities in marginalized communities. In 2018, she began facilitating environmental learning for students of color. She later became a director for the Maine Environmental Changemakers Network, an intergenerational group of 400+ youth promoting a just, inclusive, and equitable environmental movement.

Amara elevates youth voices in state and federal policy. In 2021, she coordinated Maine’s first climate education summit, gathering young people’s visions. This led to her helping create and implement a bill funding over $2 million for climate education in the state. Learn more at broweryouthawards.org.

Annika Weber, 18, co-founded the Northwest School Carbon Neutrality Task Force in early 2021. Observing widespread burnout among youth activists, she sought to combine youth passion with adult experience for sustained, tangible results. The task force, including students, parents, and faculty, researched how her high school could achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.

They surveyed the community, collected baseline data, and presented a report to school leadership. The school is now finalizing the adoption of these recommendations. If implemented, it would be the first 6-12 school in the U.S. to target carbon neutrality by 2030 without carbon offsets.

After two years of development, B Lab has released draft new B Corp Certification standards for public review. These updated standards aim to ensure B Corp Certification continues to differentiate leading companies using business as a force for good.

The first draft is open for feedback until November 15, 2022. Your input will help shape the final standards. Share your feedback here. Learn more about the evolution of these standards here, and read our blog post here.
