Urgent Call to Action: Businesses Must Address Climate Risks Now

As the repercussions of climate change escalate, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has issued a stark warning to businesses: immediate action is required to mitigate growing climate risks. The potential impacts on financial stability are significant, and the time to act is now.

The Financial Stakes of Inaction

According to the WEF, current climate hazards, particularly extreme heat, could result in staggering financial losses. By 2035, it is projected that up to $610 billion in annual asset losses could be incurred by listed companies. Sectors that are especially vulnerable to these risks include telecommunications, utilities, and energy.
