Adaptation to climate change not for the public sector to solve alone - PwC
"Adaptation to climate change is no longer the exclusive ambit of the public sector. Investment in adaptation makes business sense, due both to the need for companies to climate-proof their operations, as well as to the new business opportunities opening in the area of adaptation. Companies that act on this vision place themselves in the forefront of sustainable entrepreneurship." said Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC) at the launch of a report by PwC 'Business leadership on climate change adaptation: encouraging engagement and action'.
The report highlights that collaboration between governments and business is crucial to scaling up action and investment on adaptation.
