The Science of Climate Change

Climate change is no longer a distant threat or just a possibility, it is now a reality for all of us. In this pathway, Kevin Trenberth, a renowned climatologist, delves into the science behind climate change. He first introduces the climate system, its main components and forces.

Tackling the Plastic Crisis

Plastic pollution is by far the biggest threat to our oceans and this remains an incredibly tough problem to solve. Plastic credits could potentially serve as one of the much needed solutions for this crisis.

The Scale of the Net Zero Challenge

The price of meeting net zero is estimated to be between $100-150 trillion over the next 30 years. Regardless of this cost, we need to reach net zero before climate change does irreversible damage to the environment and the economy.

ESG, Sustainability and Impact Jargon Buster

ESG, sustainability, impact… they all just mean green, right? Not quite. Despite being used often interchangeably, there are distinct differences between these terms.

Why firmwide sustainability education?

Why firmwide sustainability education?

Sustainability education will be at the heart of any successful transition to a sustainable economy. We believe that every person who studies our sustainability courses will future-proof themselves and their company, driving both profits and planet-saving change.

The global sustainability crisis

The global sustainability crisis

After decades of pursuing economic growth with no thought for the planet, we now face desperate global crises on many fronts. 

  • The IPCC have estimated 1.5°C of warming as the upper limit before we trigger irreversible feedback loops. The Earth has already warmed by 1.2°C. 
  • 20 of the warmest years on record have occurred since 2000.
  • Extreme temperatures, droughts, and wildfires have more than doubled in the last 40 years.
  • Half the world’s coral reefs have died in the last 30 years.
  • Humans and our livestock now account for 96% of mammal biomass.
  • There has been a 94% reduction in wildlife populations in the worst-hit regions: Latin America and the Caribbean.

Time has run out

Time has run out

Governments, businesses, and individuals must all do their part to bring us back from the edge. This graph shows how fast and radical our actions must be to cut emissions enough to avoid exceeding the catastrophic 1.5°C limit.

  • If we act now, we must halve emissions every 10 years. That’s 8% every year.
  • If we continue to delay for another 4 years, we will have to halve emissions every year.
  • If we wait another 8 years, we will have used our 1.5°C budget.

How to deliver on a climate pledge

Many corporations are making net-zero carbon pledges and other sustainability promises. But who will determine which companies turn out to be eco-visionaries, and which greenwashers? 

The answer is not a single person. 

Every employee must understand their role in their company’s sustainability transition.

Education is the key

Education is the key

Education is the foundation of any true cultural change, and right now, every organisation needs to undergo a bigger and faster cultural change than ever before in their history, if they hope to achieve their green ambitions. 

What businesses stand to gain

Businesses with a culture centred on sustainability stand to gain a great deal. This is especially true for financial institutions. Climate-related risks and opportunities will determine who will be the winners and losers in the economy of the next 50 years. Companies which get ahead on sustainability knowledge now will come to dominate the opportunities and avoid the risks.

Other advantages of a planet-first business culture include:

Greater employee satisfaction

83% of UK office workers feel that their company is not doing enough and needs to become more sustainable.

Improved talent acquisition

Environmental concern rose by 128% among Gen Z employees in 2020

Improved brand-image with consumers

1 in 3 consumers stopped purchasing products in 2020 because they had sustainability concerns about them

quotes

“ Firms that align their business models with a transition to a net zero carbon economy will be rewarded handsomely. Those that fail to adapt, will cease to exist.  ”

Mark Carney, Former Governor of the Bank of England and Sustainability Unlocked Expert.
