Advisory group

Members

During the selection process we work with an advisory group to help us choose the most impactful and sustainable climate projects for the portfolio. Final decisions on chosen projects are made by Milkywire but the ambition is to follow the advisory group’s guidance as far as possible. The advisory group is independent of Milkywire and the members do not necessarily endorse all of the projects that are chosen for the Climate Transformation Fund.

Steps towards global net zero

Companies should implement a credible fee that covers the full environmental and societal cost of their emissions. But how can such a level be determined? Our recommendation is to follow the WWF/BCG Blueprint for corporate climate action
