We've Got a Problem

In June of 2020, one of the world's leading energy experts

has warned that we have only six months to avert a climate crisis.

Did you know that our planet is on fire?

It’s not the only one taking on heat!

● Organizations are taking heat about what they are

doing and/or not doing for our environment

● This heat is costly in terms of the acquisition and retention of consumers,

employees, investors, market share, partners, revenue, shareholders,

stakeholders, and suppliers . . . and reputation

● Those paying attention know that the age of “greenwashing” is over – So far 200 CEO’s of some of the largest companies in the U.S. signed the Business Roundtable pledge proving this.

Some Reasons to Pay Attention

● 66% of consumers prefer socially-responsible brands.

Millennials make up 50% of the workforce,

and the heat from them and Gen Z is scorching!

● 87% for millennials and 94% for Gen Z prefer socially-responsible brands

● 55% of millennials have chosen jobs due to environmental and social responsibility,

¾ of them will take a pay cut for a responsible company,

and 31% will quit if it is not responsible . . . amidst a skilled labor market shortage!

● The percentage of investors considering what a company does relative

to the environment grew from 48% to 75% in 2019

MUCH BIGGER REASONS TO PAY ATTENTION AND TAKE ACTION BELOW:

OUR GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS

Over 97% of climate scientists agree: the earth is warming and human activity is the cause.

The UN 2018 report on climate change: our world is on the brink of failure by 2030 if global warming continues at its present rate.

By 2070, earth will be "unsuitable for human life to flourish."

THREATS

2019 was the second-hottest year in 140 years.

Extreme weather events rise each year.

These affect the lives and livelihoods of all living beings.

2018: 65.6 million climate refugees; 2050: 143 million projected in just three regions!

They also lead to unimaginable economic, environmental, security, and health threats, including pandemics.

ONE HOT MESS!

If our current greenhouse gas emissions remain steady, we have a 93% chance of a planet which is hotter by four degrees Celsius.

This ensures food and health risks, increased intensity and frequency of storms, floods, heat waves, water scarcity and potability, permanent land loss due to sea level rise, etc.
