class="">Climate change</h3> </header> <section> <p>Climate scientists overwhelmingly agree that the global economy must reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 to ward off the catastrophic effects of climate change. Despite this scientific consensus and broad agreement that climate change will disrupt every sector of the global economy, governmental action has not been sufficient to establish a path to net-zero.</p> <p>The same experts who accurately predicted such consequences decades ago say today’s disruptions will not only continue but will accelerate for decades to come, even if we could halt further GHG emissions immediately. This is because of the amount of GHGs already in the atmosphere. CO2 persists in the atmosphere for 300 to 1,000 years, while methane, with more than 80 times the warming power of CO2, persists for about 12 years. In other words, environmental issues such as pollution, biodiversity, and natural resources, while important, pale in relation to climate change.</p> <p>The World Bank estimates that 140 million people will be affected by extreme droughts, floods, and storms by 2050. In addition, research has found that climate change has boosted heat-related deaths in warm seasons by an average of 37%. By 2050, the rise in sea levels could affect much of the US east coast, while islands such as the Bahamas and low-lying cities such as Jakarta and Mumbai could be catastrophically submerged.</p> <p>In terms of business impact, a report titled The Truth Behind the Climate Pledges, authored by climate scientists at the Universal Ecological Fund, paints a bleak picture. It estimates that failure to reduce emissions will cause economic losses of $2 billion per day by 2030 from weather events exacerbated by human-induced climate change. Analysis by the giant reinsurance company Swiss Re in April 2021 found that global temperature rise, if not addressed, will reduce global economic output by between 11% and 14% by 2050, potentially cutting global economic output by $23 trillion each year.</p> <p>To avoid such consequences, scientists overwhelmingly agree that there is just one meaningful course of action: halting the increase in GHGs, primarily from the burning of fossil fuels but also from gases such as methane.</p> </section> </header> </div> <div class="cell"> <div class="table-container"> <div class="top-scroller hide" data-target="esg-e-001"><div></div></div> <div class="table-fixedcol"> <table id="esg-e-001"> <thead> <tr> <th data-type="text"> Contributing factor </th> <th data-type="text"> Description </th> <th data-type="text"> Impact on the environment </th> <th data-type="text"> Mitigating actions </th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td data-type="text"> Greenhouse gas emissions </td> <td data-type="text"> Gases that trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere.

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), from 1990 to 2019, the total warming effect from greenhouse gases added by humans to the Earth’s atmosphere increased by 45%.2011 to 2020 was the warmest decade in recorded history, with global average temperature reaching 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels in 2019. </td> <td data-type="text"> Set a science-based carbon reduction target through a widely recognized scheme (e.g., the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi)). Investing in low-carbon technologies, switching to renewable energy sources, and undertaking energy efficiency projects will also help companies reduce their emissions.

For unavoidable emissions, companies are committing to credible carbon offset schemes, purchasing carbon credits, or investing in carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions. </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </div> <div class="cell"> <header class="header-action"> <header> <h3 class="">Pollution</h3> </header> <main> <p>Most pollution is caused by industrial and domestic waste products. Pollution occurs in four primary forms: air pollutants, water pollutants, land pollutants, and space pollutants. All forms of pollution can adversely affect human health and cause environmental damage. For instance, smog—sometimes known as ground-level ozone—can irritate the eyes and throat and damage the lungs. Mercury, which enters the environment through burning fossil fuels, attacks the central nervous system.
