Businesses and the Climate Emergency: Mitigation and Adaptation
There is another side to the climate emergency story, and that is adaptation. Adaptation is the Cinderella of the climate emergency. It is the less glamorous, less talked about, less understood and less resourced side of the climate emergency.
Businesses have a key role to play in both mitigation and adaptation. To mitigate, businesses can reduce their own emissions, invest in renewable energy, and support the transition to a low-carbon economy. To adapt, businesses can assess their own risks and vulnerabilities, invest in resilient infrastructure, and develop strategies to protect their operations and supply chains from the impacts of climate change.
The climate emergency is a huge challenge, but it is also an opportunity. Businesses that take action now to mitigate and adapt to climate change will be better placed to survive and thrive in the future. It’s time to save Cinderella.
