There’s a fascinating climate “trilemma” emerging in the global business world. As with economist Dani Rodrik’s global economy trilemma, in which "democracy, national sovereignty, and global economic integration are mutually incompatible. You can have two, but never all three at the same time," so there is now a climate trilemma appearing on the horizon.
This climate trilemma, as I see it, is that net-zero plans, science-based targets, and rising carbon emissions are mutually incompatible. We can have two, but never all three at the same time.
