Climate Change

Climate change is likely to be the greatest threat that humanity has yet faced. The problem is on a planetary scale and requires multilateral solutions, posing the greatest challenges to mitigating the effects of GHG release.

Taking significant action to prevent climate change will require a fundamental shift in lifestyle and business practice, with considerations of intergenerational equity, environmental equity and distribution of climate change impacts. The issue is compounded by the immediacy of the problem, as the economic and environmental consequences of delaying action on climate change are severe.
