Despite great efforts by a relatively small group of committed people, the world is not making the rapid progress needed. We desperately need more supporters. In

Irrespective of whether we’re heading towards 1.5C of warming, 2C, or more, climate change is already here and we’re seeing weather events become more extreme and frequent as a result. The very first figure of the recent IPCC AR6 Synthesis Report shows all the human and natural systems that are already adversely affected. The flooding in Pakistan, wildfires in California and Arctic heatwaves are just some recent examples.

We need to do everything we can to stem the flow of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere through intense decarbonisation of businesses and nations. And while the quantity of emissions in the atmosphere is important, there should also be a lens on the human impact of climate change. This human impact is something that we can manage additionally, by making ourselves less vulnerable to the impacts of climate change through adaptation.

Climate adaptation and resilience has been rising up agendas recently, and this week we were interested to see it being tackled head-on by Transport for London (TfL) through its first climate adaptation plan. Transport contributes 37% of global emissions but is also at the front line of feeling the impacts of extreme weather events, as many people trying to use the London Underground in February, July, August and November 2022 found out.

While lots of the focus of the new plan is on data collection, staff training, better weather forecasting and embedding climate risk into capital projects, it will also see the building of sustainable drainage systems, green roofs, and tree planting. As well as making the city more attractive and nature-rich, these steps will put London’s transport infrastructure in a better position to keep the city moving when extreme weather strikes.

#Climateadaptation is a new frontier for climate strategy, and we commend organisations driving forward to protect themselves and customers from the impacts of climate change.

Hello Sustainability people! How familiar are you with EU Taxonomy? Did you know that now some companies MUST report on their sustainable activities and financial contributions? If you think that this is relevant for you keep reading!

WHAT IS EU TAXONOMY? AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

The EU taxonomy is a classification system that establishes a list of economically sustainable environmental activities. It is part of the EU's plan to increase sustainable investment and put the European Green Deal into action. It specifies the technical requirements that must be met in order for an activity to be considered sustainable.

HOW DOES IT IMPACT YOUR BUSINESS?

All large companies must report their taxonomy alignment, as well as relevant information that may help investors assess their ESG performance, beginning January 1, 2023.

Small and medium sized companies can report on a voluntary basis, but will be affected by the EU’s upcoming Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive
Investment funds will also be required to report on taxonomy alignment and collect data necessary to assess the degree of taxonomy alignment or the portfolio companies themselves.

To find out more about the EU Taxonomy requirements for reporting and its benefits read this blog and understand what are your responsibilities as a business owner.
