Climate change is not a distant threat but a pressing issue that is affecting our planet today. The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), is leading to rising global temperatures, melting ice caps, more frequent and severe weather events, disruptions in ecosystems, and negative impacts on human health and livelihoods. The scientific consensus is clear: urgent and bold action is needed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels to avoid irreversible and catastrophic consequences.
Greenhouse gas emissions are the main drivers of climate change. Human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy, deforestation, industrial processes, and agriculture release substantial amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and cause the planet to warm up, leading to the destabilization of our climate system. Carbon dioxide is the most prominent greenhouse gas, accounting for about 75% of global emissions, followed by methane and nitrous oxide. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide, is critical to mitigating climate change and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Therefore, climate change and greenhouse gas emissions are critical ESG issues that demand collective action from governments, businesses, civil society organizations, communities, and individuals. By prioritizing ESG principles, we can work together to reduce emissions, promote sustainable practices, and mitigate the impacts of climate change, fostering a more resilient and sustainable future for our planet and future generations.
