The business of climate change: Introduction
Under the direction of Dr. John Llewellyn, Senior Economic Policy Advisor at Lehmann Brothers, was published in February 2007 a report detailing the consequences of global warming. Dr. Llewellyn and his team leave the scientific evidence in order to determine what impact climate change will have on the world economy. They named "The Business of Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities". The team of this blog has decided to present this report in several parts it is rather long and covers a variety of sectors.
For some time, the authors find a mismatch of the debate around climate change: it is no longer a matter only occupant politicians and environmentalists, but gradually he became its place on the strategic businesses. The case is designed on the basis of a logical thought:
• The Earth heats
• The main reasons are the emissions of greenhouse gases caused by humans
• And for that, there will be significant consequences on the lives of human beings
The authors believe that climate change is one of the major forces in our lives as globalisation and the ageing of the population.
Theses defended based on several principles:
• A baseline scenario assumes that the temperature on Earth will increase by 2-5C ° by 2100. However, it is considered possible that the increase may be much larger
• Climate change has already had an impact on the water supply on Earth, the flora and fauna, agriculture, and so on.
It is however possible to predict some future. Despite this, climatologists are agreed on specific points:
O An increase in the sea level
O The collapse of Glaciers
O Natural disasters becoming more frequent
• a drop in the GDP and revenues available due to costs related to the limitation of emission of greenhouse gases
• a probability of more than 50% in 5 years, a worldwide system for managing emissions of greenhouse gases will be put in place
• integration of a company policy taking into account the logic of sustainable development into its governance and its management
