Centre for Multilateral Negotiation (CEMUNE), Business4climate Report, November 2025, 23 p.
Climate change presents a defining challenge for the global economy. Governments alone cannot deliver the scale and speed of transformation required to meet the Paris Agreement goals. Businesses – through their investments, innovations, and influence – have become indispensable actors in driving climate ambition. Yet, the effectiveness of their engagement increasingly depends on how they collaborate, negotiate, and mobilise through collective platforms such as business coalitions.
This report analyses how sustainability-oriented business coalitions negotiate and mobilise to advance ambitious climate policy. It forms part of CEMUNE’s Business4Climate (B4C) project, which seeks to deepen the understanding of collective business action as a driver of change and ambition.
