The term climate change has become increasingly common place in all countries around the world, affecting every human being on earth, forming the basis of much international discussion. However, with all the talk, press and hype around the topic how well do you really know what is going? Do you know which of your actions are detrimental? What actions are you doing that are helping? What is your government doing at global and national levels? What is business doing at home and abroad?
http://www.article13.com/csr/definitions-1.asp#Climate%20changeThe multitude of issues that surround climate change as well as the never-ending debate around solutions, draw on many ethical, social, economic, and environmental issues for individuals and organisations alike. Additionally, the enormity of the effects of a changing climate is becoming alarmingly apparent, for example the magnitude of human suffering, the potential reaches of disease, water scarcity, land degradation, the frequency of natural disasters; all of which pose seemingly unanswerable questions.
Therefore, partnerships and cooperation are vital to addressing these topics that reach into everyone’s backyard; only with a shared understanding of best practice and common goals can we tackle the ever increasing effects of climate change, now and into the future.
Article 13 has compiled a brief but comprehensive resource centre on its website to provide subjective information on areas of climate change. The resources cover general topics ranging from ‘what is climate change?, ‘what are government, NGO’s and business doing? and case studies, resources and organisations and their initiatives
