2022 saw the publication of the UN’s latest reports on the state of our climate, and the conclusions are alarming.
Worldwide efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions are currently insufficient to maintain the possibility of a 1.5-degree future. Without decisive action, the hazards of global warming that we’re already experiencing today could accelerate with dire consequences.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns:
“We are sleepwalking to climate catastrophe.”
Disclosure alone will not address the immense challenges we face. However, accountability begins with greater transparency, and high-quality climate reporting can facilitate enhanced understanding and improved resilience. The 2022 roll-out of mandatory reporting against the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) framework for many companies in the UK couldn’t be more timely. The potential financial and systemic consequences of climate risk have never been more tangible, and the TCFD aims to enable greater oversight of businesses’ exposure to this risk.
