๐ŸŽฅ Video of the week: Climate Action Can't Wait

And for this week's article of the week or more of resource of the week, we've chosen a short - 6 minutes video that was released to the Atlassian youtube channel about climate action.

Businesses and governments can make the biggest difference when taking climate action, much higher than just the individuals. Everyone who's a business leader should think about how they can lead their organization towards a zero-carbon economy and help with the decarbonization of the world. As Mike said in the video, the cost of acting now is much lower than the cost of acting in the future.

There is a link to the website sciencebasedtargets.org where you can commit to your climate actions as a business and find needed support.
