There is an urgent need to adapt and mitigate climate change impacts and foster climate resilience for businesses, the environment, and communities.

Climate change is not a future phenomenon – its impacts are evident and, in many cases, devastating to the environment and societies worldwide today. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic and the global economic slowdown reduced emissions in 2020, emissions returned to near pre-pandemic levels in 2021, reaching 36.4 billion tonnes of CO2. Rising global temperatures, extreme weather events, flooding, and devastating wildfires dominated the year 2021. According to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, it is unequivocal that such changes are caused by human influence and that climate system disruptions will have an unprecedented impact over many centuries.

Mitigating climate impacts
Climate change implications are interlinked and pose environmental, economic, social, and technological risks. There is an urgent need to adapt and mitigate climate change impacts and foster climate resilience for businesses, the environment, and communities. Society already has many solutions to support us on this path, and the increasing number of countries and businesses setting targets aligned with the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative is encouraging.
