Global climate change has a significant impact on humans and other life across continents.
The earth witnessed its hottest day since recorded history in July 2023, this month. Rising
temperatures are resulting in greater loss of sea ice, rising sea levels, loss of biodiversity,
unpredictable and extreme weather events, and many other tangible and intangible negative
impacts. To combat these effects, society must address the root cause of global warming
by reducing anthropogenic emissions and increasing natural and artificial mechanisms to
capture carbon. Increasing resource consumption is causing a number of other issues beyond
climate change, including scarcity of water, increasing quantities of unmanaged waste, land
degradation, etc.
To minimize our impact on the planet, more efficient use of resources is necessary. To address
these challenges, countries have declared individual targets for achieving Net Zero emissions
which can be met when every industry works on sustainable solutions that minimize their
value chain’s impact on the environment across their carbon emissions, water footprint and
resource efficiency.
