Challenge
Global warming and its impact on climate are affecting our social and environmental systems and are the source of many risks for humanity. Extreme weather events trigger humanitarian crises and lead to the loss of biodiversity, thereby negatively affecting our ecosystems. The consequences of climate change contribute to social instability in several regions of the world. Organizations can participate in a host of collaboration initiatives that are in place and aimed at appeasing the phenomenon.
To demonstrate leadership in this context, we need to go beyond compliance with existing regulations and standards. We must contribute to redefining the practices in place to transform the world in which we live.
Objective
The systemic complexity of climate change’s impacts is a challenge that demands concrete action by leaders in all socioeconomic strata. Whether it be at a governmental level in the case of initiatives such as the Paris Climate Agreement, at a corporate level with the Task Force on Climate‐related Financial Disclosures or , presenting ambitious programs such as Interface’s Climate Take Back, or yet again in the plural sector with movements such as The Nature Conservancy and Équiterre, all organizations have the possibility to be part of the solution.
