1.Background
Climate change, driven by the excessive use of fossil fuels and other unsustainable practices, is a global challenge that requires immediate attention and action. The consequences of climate change, including rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and sea-level rise, are already affecting communities worldwide. As the urgency to mitigate the impact of climate change becomes increasingly apparent, it is vital for all sectors of society to step up and take action. One of the most influential groups in this endeavor is the business community.
Business leaders, as some of the most influential individuals in society, play a crucial role in shaping the future of our planet. They are at the helm of organizations that can drive change through innovation, sustainability initiatives, and corporate responsibility. CEOs and their companies have the power to make significant contributions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving natural resources, and transitioning to renewable energy sources. As stewards of both economic and environmental well-being, they have the potential to set the course for a more sustainable, low-carbon future.
