Key findings

The business case for climate action is clear

With consumers, investors and governments increasing the pressure to disclose and minimise climate impacts, businesses, cities and countries around the world are embracing low-carbon strategies to reduce their emissions.

Consumers are adopting lifestyle changes to shrink their carbon footprint

Lifestyles and purchasing decisions are increasingly shaped by environmental concerns. As the number of consumers worried about climate change grows, companies are increasingly communicating products’ environmental impacts using carbon footprint labels.

Cities are key to fighting climate change

As climate change makes extreme weather more frequent and/or severe, many cities are at higher risk of rising ocean levels, and/or suffering droughts or flooding. To minimise the negative impacts for citizens and businesses, cities that are more climate-vulnerable are rushing to implement climate adaptation measures.

Supply chains need to invest in climate change adaptation

Making supply chains more climate-resilient has become imperative. Changes in climate patterns bring tremendous risks for businesses, such as disruption in manufacturing and logistics, rising production costs and losses in corporate productivity and revenues.

Innovation towards a low- carbon future is booming

Increased climate awareness and net-zero carbon commitments are expected to drive the highest investments in areas such as energy efficiency, employee education and renewable energy, unlocking opportunities for innovations and collaborations.
