Climate change and Canadian business: The good, the bad and the realistic (Brief 1)
As an accountant, it’s time to change the way you think about climate change and its impact on your business.
Adapting to and planning for the early effects of climate change are increasingly important to businesses in Canada and worldwide. Over the next decade, adaptation could become a major source of competitive advantage.
Long or short-term, pro-active or re-active, this kind of approach is known as adaptation — and it’s a term that should need no special explanation to business professionals. You and your organization/clients need to adapt to changing circumstances and plan for new risks in the economic and market environment.
