Description (excerpt):
Climate change demands large-scale action to avoid the worst predicted impacts. New policies, products and services are urgently needed to deliver a low carbon economy that secures both continued growth and a safe climate. But the technologies already exist to massively reduce emissions. And LED lighting is a prime example of a proven technology that must be implemented at scale, as rapidly as possible.
The Climate Group and Philips have called on every single city and utility around the world to schedule the switch of their street lighting to LED* by 2025. We launched a major new global campaign called LED = Lower Emissions Delivered in September 2015, to encourage local governments, cities and utilities to embrace the carbon and cost benefits of LEDs.
