Climate Change – the business perspective • World Economic Forum (2005) – Global Risk to Business Environment recognizes “Climate Change” as one of the TOP-10 risk. • …. can disrupt markets throughout the world with almost instantaneous precision. Such risks can be difficult to anticipate and respond to, even for the most seasoned business leaders. • …Seldom can global risks be addressed by a single business entity, industry or country…. • …. There is also a large discrepancy between the immediate time horizon employed by most business and political leaders and the long-term approach required to tackle risks on a global scale…. • …As a result, our capacity to address risk is jeopardized; a myopic tendency – or worse: denial – prevails.

  4. Climate Change – a view of business community • What works best with the Business Community…Converting Risk into Opportunity • Example…TOYOTA-Hybrid Gas-electric vehicle, Brand value of environment friendly company • Keeping a long term … “Sustainable view” is always a challenge; …in doing so they can be punished by the markets. Which is threat to their existence. • Risk Management Strategies would require – Understanding the Risk, its impact and to some extent developing tolerance towards that • Considering the trans-boundary nature of Risks, Business would depend on Cross-cutting, International Intuitional Mechanism…and there are very few of them
