This week we see several countries in the region affected by extreme weather events, from an unprecedented heat wave in Argentina to an unusual cyclone on the Pacific Ocean coast that is generating heavy rainfall and flooding in Peru and Ecuador. Even more worrisome than the suffering and damage these events are generating is the realization that this is only the beginning of what is to come.
Human activity has irrevocably changed the global climate. Even if it were possible to stop all greenhouse gas emissions today, we would feel the consequences of a warmer atmosphere for several years to come. Faced with this scenario, companies face a double challenge - to increase their resilience to a changing climate and at the same time transform their business to decarbonize it in order to ensure their future sustainability.
In this report you will learn about:
- What is the progress of the Latin American private sector in terms of climate action.
- The main challenges and opportunities that companies face when taking action.
- Best practices of companies in the region that are promoting decarbonization in their organizations.
