The earth's climate is changing and there is overwhelming evidence that the way we, as humans, live our lives is having a detrimental impact. Human induced climate change is caused primarily by the burning of fossil fuels. The consequences are that there are less certainties around seasons, more extreme weather events (e.g. intense rain and heat) and therefore impacts on the way we live our lives.
The evidence of climate change is clear and requires action. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the global average temperature has increased by about 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.0 degrees Fahrenheit) since the late 19th century. Based on science, there is a pathway to reduce emissions and ensure the average temperature does not exceed 2.0 degrees Celsius by the end of the 21st century. This is known as Net Zero.
Tackling climate change is a global challenge that requires collective action. Governments, businesses, and individuals must collaborate to find solutions and implement them at scale. This will require:
Significant investment
Political will
A shared commitment to the future of our planet
Climate change is happening and there is evidence that the pathway to Net Zero will not only reduce emissions but will also lead to cost savings, innovation, streamlined processes and a more just society. Businesses that act gain advantages in tenders, recruitment, staff retention, investment and future-proofing.
