Introduction to Climate Change and its Relation to Trade

Climate change has taken center stage as the pre-eminent global environmental challenge of the 21st century. Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change has, as a result, become a principal objective of business. Delivering these cuts has led over 40 governments at regional, national, and international levels to develop carbon trading regimes.

The essential implication of carbon trading is that an organization's climate change strategies are increasingly important in limiting exposure to financial and legal risks. The broader implication is that it pays companies to invest in developing a climate change and emissions trading strategy that ensures these risks are mitigated and that any potential opportunities that arise from emissions trading are fully exploited.
