摘要：	Climate change has been around for a while, yet organizations often struggle to see why they need to act right now. According to our research, 11% of companies do not even acknowledge that climate change is a risk to them, and many others acknowledge climate change, but cannot name the associated risks and what needs to be done to address them. Often, it will fall on supply chain leaders to be the canary in the goldmine and sound the alarm. One of the challenges of addressing climate change risk is that it is hard to translate the risk into business impact. It is important to make clear that climate change drives investment decisions. For example, in the United Kingdom, there are external reporting requirements on climate change adaptation. This will have a direct link on external investment. Are you able to demonstrate that you are working on this? Climate change is a long-term risk that requires long-term thinking. There is also increasing emphasis from the investment community that climate change response matters. For example, when planning for new infrastructure, design considerations should be made for future climate trends. If you are aware and address the issue right now, you are addressing the issue right now head on. For example, according to a 'Nature' article, an estimated US$90 trillion worth of infrastructure will be needed in the next 15 years to build resilience to climate change. But consider this - the projected benefits are four times greater if you are aware and address the issue head on now.
