ICYMI: new World Economic Forum report with PIK - Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research urges CEOS and boards to address physical risks from climate change: - Businesses that fail to adapt to physical climate risks could lose up to 7% of annual earnings as early as 2035. That means $560 to 610 billion in annual fixed asset losses for listed companies, with telecommunications, utilities, and energy companies most vulnerable - Companies investing in adaptation, decarbonization, and resilience are seeing up to $19 in avoided losses for every dollar spent.

🚫 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤: 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐃𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐝 - check the slides to see why Given easter is setting a slower pace, I’ve had the time to reflect about something I unfortunately don’t spend enough time on in my day-to-day. What do we do about our planet? Free market forces can’t solve the climate crisis alone, and intentions across nations just won’t do. Unfortunately, current commitments would only achieve an 11 percent reduction, with actual policies potentially leading to a 4 percent increase in emissions by 2030. And, according to IMF, over 80 percent of the required emissions cuts by 2030 can be achieved with existing technologies. So while new technology can help, we can lift the bulk of the work with what we already know exists. It is therefore even more important to STOP doing things that are directly harmful. Such as the $7 trillion spent annually on global fossil fuel subsidies in 2022 according to IMF. Real progress requires concrete actions, enforceable standards, and, most importantly, regulations that compel compliance. See exactly why in the slides, but essentially the numbers don't lie. The evidence is clear: where regulations have been implemented, we've seen significant advancements. In contrast, without clear incentives to comply, key private and public stakeholders often delay necessary changes, endangering our collective future. If no-one is forced, some actors will continue to prioritize short-term gains over long-term sustainability, delaying crucial climate actions, and those that want to change, will not be competitive in certain industries. We need to recognize that without direct, forced impacts to drive change, the transition we need will be perpetually out of reach.
