Corporates
CSRidentity.com
knows that all major corporates in the world have special
attention to climate change and will share about 5000 corporate
initiative links (from over 100 countries) once it gets
sponsor for global research.
Climate
is a major concern across the world.
While
each individual, each celebrity, each NGO, each media ....
have responsibility towards climate, the responsibility
of corporates is major.
There are corporates in chemical industry which may have
negative effect on climate.
Every IT industry pays handsome salary of their key employees
and they come to office or go to meetings in vehicles which
affect climate.
Media prints paper or magazine which indirectly means they
cut trees because paper comes from trees, so they have responsibility.
Even judicial courts in India uses millions of tonnes of
paper, which means they are indirectly cutting trees.
Ideally courts should take leadership but by using court
papers, it is doing injustice to environment because in
India, even children see books on mobiles, so court cases
instead of papers can use mobile with of course very clear
precautions which take care of hacking.
CSRidentity.com
is raising the issue with court system in Thane. Our idea
is while pandemic has resulted in school children using
mobiles, why cant court use digital ways in which they can
save cutting millions of trees.

Challenges
Environmental Impacts:
Extreme Weather Events:
Climate change is intensifying and increasing the frequency
of extreme weather events like heatwaves, droughts, floods,
and wildfires, causing widespread damage and displacement.
Rising Sea Levels:
Melting glaciers and thermal expansion of water contribute
to rising sea levels, threatening coastal communities and
ecosystems.
Biodiversity Loss:
Climate change alters habitats and ecosystems, leading to
species loss, increased diseases, and even extinctions.
Food and Water Scarcity:
Changes in precipitation patterns and temperatures can lead
to crop failures, water shortages, and food insecurity,
particularly in vulnerable regions.
Soil Degradation:
Climate change exacerbates soil degradation, reducing its
ability to store carbon and support agriculture, further
impacting food security.
Social and Economic Impacts:
Displacement and Migration:
Extreme weather events and climate change impacts can force
people to leave their homes, leading to displacement and
migration, straining resources and infrastructure.
Health Impacts:
Climate change poses significant health risks, including
heatstroke, respiratory illnesses, and the spread of infectious
diseases.
Economic Disruptions:
Extreme weather events and climate change impacts can disrupt
economies, damage infrastructure, and reduce productivity.
Increased Poverty and Inequality:
Climate change disproportionately affects the poorest and
most vulnerable populations, exacerbating existing inequalities.
Conflict and Instability:
Scarcity of resources like water and food, exacerbated by
climate change, can lead to social unrest and conflict.
Addressing the Challenges:
Mitigation:
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions through transitioning
to renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, and adopting
sustainable practices is crucial to limit future warming.
Adaptation:
Developing strategies to cope with the unavoidable impacts
of climate change, such as investing in climate-resilient
infrastructure and promoting sustainable land management,
is essential.
International Cooperation:
Addressing climate change requires global cooperation and
coordinated action, including sharing technology and resources,
and supporting developing countries in their adaptation
and mitigation efforts.
Public Awareness and Education:
Raising public awareness about climate change and its impacts
is crucial to foster collective action and support for climate
policies.

For the first time on record, global warming has exceeded
temperatures of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit)
over a 12-month period, European climate monitors have said,
in what scientists called a “warning to humanity”.
