Climate Change

Climate Change is one of the defining global challenges of the 21st century, affecting economies, businesses, communities and ecosystems worldwide. Driven primarily by greenhouse gas emissions, climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, accelerating biodiversity loss and creating significant risks for organisations across their operations, supply chains and long-term growth strategies. As a result, climate action has become a central focus of corporate sustainability, regulation, investment and business decision-making.

SustainabilityOnline provides coverage of the latest climate change developments, including climate policy, emissions reduction, net zero strategies, climate adaptation, renewable energy, decarbonisation, sustainable finance and corporate climate disclosure. We explore how organisations are responding to climate risks, strengthening resilience, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, investing in low-carbon technologies and preparing for evolving sustainability regulations. We also examine developments in biodiversity, nature-based solutions, supply chain resilience, climate innovation and corporate sustainability reporting.

Related topics: climate change, climate action, greenhouse gas emissions, net zero, decarbonisation, renewable energy, climate adaptation, climate resilience, climate risk, carbon reduction, sustainable finance, biodiversity, nature-based solutions, corporate sustainability, ESG reporting, climate disclosure, supply chain resilience, low-carbon technologies and sustainability regulation.

This year marks the first time since 2024 that the three Rio Conventions will hold their COP meetings in the same year, presenting an unmissable opportunity for businesses to invest in global efforts on climate change, biodiversity loss and land degradation, the UNFCCC has said.
