On September 20, the United Nations Secretary General (UNSG) Antonio Guterres will convene a full-day summit in New York City, where governments and non-state actors (NSAs) – including businesses, cities, regions and financial institutions – will be invited to demonstrate their collective efforts in accelerating the pace and scale towards a just, renewable energy-based and climate-resilient future. What is the Climate Ambition Summit expected to achieve?
The immediate environmental threats posed by climate change may be rising up on business world agendas, but more urgent action is needed. In our efforts to reduce emissions, we also need to protect our water and forest resources, experts warn, ahead of World Water Day and the International Day of Forests. Research shows that 37% of firms are not including water issues in their investment decisions and 48% are not considering forests.
Thomas Maddox is CDP's global director for forests and land, Cate Lamb is CDP's global director for water security and Amir Sokolowski is CDP's associate director for climate change. As more and more companies wake up to the urgency of reducing carbon emissions, other pieces of the climate puzzle must not be forgotten. Achieving water security and stopping deforestation are inextricably linked to occupying a 'habitable' planet and addressing climate change.
