What Apple CEO Tim Cook told the UN Climate Change Summit
Cook had two minutes to try to make his point at the summit. Hereās what he had to say:
āThank you to all of the advocates and leaders joining us today. This is an important gathering. And we had Apple don’t take our presence in this group lightly. We wear it as a badge of duty. At this moment of historic urgency, every leader of nations of companies and up communities, has a particular burden to act.
āThis year, Apple has accelerated our progress. We became carbon neutral for our worldwide corporate emissions. Already, we’re helping 95 of our supplierās transition to 100% renewable energy, a number we continue to grow.
āAnd we’ve unveiled a plan unrivalled in its ambition to achieve carbon neutrality for our entire supply chain and product usage by 2030 — 20 years before the goal set by the United Nations.ā
Cook speaks at around 2:40 in, unfortunately, failed UK PM Boris Johnson is also in this. Iād advise skipping that bit.
āWe see every part of our device lifecycle from design to manufacturing to durability and repair to recycling, as an opportunity for environmental innovation, moving us toward our goal of a closed loop supply chain, the choice between the bottom line and the future of our planet is a false one. And each new green innovation offers the proof.
āThis is no time for changes at the margins. Together we can transition to a carbon neutral economy and usher in a new era of inclusive opportunity. This is a moment for ambition, cooperation, and leadership.
āWe at Apple are proud to be your partners, and we call pm companies and governments around the world to do all we can to make 2021, the year we turn the corner for good.
āThank you.ā
