- Just how committed are companies worldwide to climate protection? The London-based Carbon Disclosure Project has been taking a closer look to see what measures companies are taking to combat climate change.
The institute examined 12,000 companies around the world and found that only a fraction are committed to measures to stop climate change.
A mere 272 companies meet one of the three criteria needed for a top score. That's just two percent of all the firms surveyed. The companies must prove they are reducing emissions and that their climate protection plans stand up to scientific scrutiny. In Germany, just one firm, the flavor manufacturer Symrise, is judged to be a truly environmentally friendly company.
In all, 14 German companies made it onto the list of active climate protectors, including rail operator Deutsche Bahn, Deutsche Telekom , steelmaker ThyssenKrupp and software group SAP. SAP is committed to climate neutral operations by 2023, while ThyssenKrupp has also pledged to produce its steel in a climate-neutral way in the future.

Another good question is how commited are big corporations to make as much money as possible at any cost, ignoring social and environmental costs.

The people can largely stop giving these companies all their money. They're condoning their actions by throwing money at them.
@@criessmiles3620 what's Zelenky have to do with this? Africans don't contribute much to climate change due to extreme poverty vs the choice to be green. Similar to the Philippines where I live
Sorry to ruin your day but capitalism is only commited to profits.
Some of capitalism is committed to profits from things that reduce emissions. Not a fan of all that money being made but that doesn't mean that there isn't a benefit from their investment.
*that money should be the public's money funding research done by publicly employed scientists were nobody takes the cream off the top.

@mikapuk got news for you smartass, you live in the same planet as all of us!!
Every year we delay millions more of our descendants will suffer and hate us for not stopping it.
There's another lifeform that follows the same pattern...
Best way to prevent harm is not having descendants.
Wow they got to you Decs?
It’s mostly about us, right now. Billions of people alive already will be at risk, and the rest will suffer in horrible ways. Plus, causing the end of the world kind of breaks the social contract, which means an end to business as usual. If we are forced to live on a dying planet, what legitimacy is left?
@@Rnankn Even if whatever is happening is not natural (that is highly debatable) then the only sensible thing to do is to adapt. What is the point taxing the little people into abject poverty and misery whilst the super rich ignore whatever their Davos mates tell the proletariat they must do?
M. Vittel's comment on the effect of subsidies to create a "sluggishness" in companies to react while they wait to see if further subsidies are forthcoming is among the hazards I expected many years ago when "subsidies" were talking points. There is a billion dollar hotel here that was a "subsidized" job- that story alone would have you rethinking the idea of "paying someone to make a profit"- low interest LOANS, never free, would have been a better way.

The cost of dealing with the impact of Climate Change will be much greater than the cost of dealing with the cause.
We must stop adding more fossil fuels to the climate fire. Phase out coal power plants and replace them with wind and solar energy.
Individuals, businesses and governments need to be educated about climate change and how they can reduce fossil fuel use.
The knowledge is already there. It is unequivocal that governments and businesses do not care, this video is just one example of all the evidence for this.
@@LeanAndMean44 a huge portion of the public cares but won't do anything about it. Always driving when they don't need to drive. Running their heat or AC too high and taking vacations via air travel and eating animals. The government and industry isn't making people do those things.
Ridiculous Ken, the only way to do what your saying is by restarting nuclear plants and building more, is that what you want?
I pledge that by the year 2030 I will be entirely using sustainable energy. I even put it on my website so you know I care. In a year it'll disappear from website and by 2030 I will say I'm committed to going green by 2040.
😂
I hope the scientific community will study this and endorse it, rather than relying on the public to believe the marking and handing money to potential scamers
DW......Respect 🌹👈🏽🔥👉🏽🌹
Profit over people. They don't care
Urgency is only realized when island getaways are actively and officially threatened by extinction.
You go Norway!!!
Criteria set by whom? And how? With a single focus on co2 emissions, while we have many more things to worry about. This crazy single-focus on Co2 is going to wreak havoc in our economies and societies. The high inflation we are seeing is just one of the side effects of these crazy green policies. Climate change is one of the issues we have to deal with. There are a lot more: energy security and affordability, national security and robustness of the national defense system, just to name a few. This co2-only approach is childish and self-destructing.
If the system is imperfect, then the system needs to be changed.
In most cases, it is governance that is at fault for not progressing in curbing the CO2 emission.
A financially rewarding Carbon-reduction Scheme that would be open to citizens of every participating Nation, is a viable option. Nations that are committed to this scheme, as well as participating industrial enterprises will be motivated to find innovative ways of reducing their carbon emissions through a similar reward system. For example, Nations could earn their points by reducing military exercises that consume an extraordinary amount of fossil fuel. If only half the world's population reduces the energy that causes carbon emissions by 10%, we could halt the dire progression of climate change.
Best regards,
Alex Goslar
Most of the world doesn’t produce most of the worlds carbon emissions. The richest 10% produce half of global emissions. And the poorest half about 12% of global emissions. Billionaires produce a million times more atmospheric carbon than the average person outside the richest 10% of humanity. Inequality drives climate change from the top, and the threat of poverty and deprivation prevents political action from the bottom. Current global wealth is approx half a quadrillion dollars, but that doesn’t even come close to the value of the biosphere. It is priceless.
Carbon capture is the new scam.
How about not releasing carbon in the first time?
I'm holding my breath
@@kohtalainenalias why??? You release as much as a whole fleet of airplanes?

I don’t think climate change will be stopped. I think our best bet is finding ways to minimize negative impacts of climate change.
We can look to the Dutch for guidance on protecting cities from flooding. We can identify the most at-risk areas and stop new constructions there now.
We can work on implementing new technologies to make our food supply more resilient and water efficient and less dependent on natural weather. We can shift away from subsidizing inefficient food sources in favor of higher production sources to keep up with worldwide demand.
We should research options like orbital solar shades to cool down the equatorial regions.
We should create seed banks and keep researching options to prevent mass extinctions in the worst case scenarios.
We can possibly reduce coastal flooding while shrinking deserts if we engineer ways to trap/pump massive volumes of water inland.
By the way, the Earth was warmer and more wet-tropical than present for most of its existence. The cold-dry Earth is somewhat abnormal even thought it has lasted for our species’ lifetime. We’ve accelerated a natural change and there is a lot of momentum. We need to adapt.

We aren’t a we. No one has the right to destabilize the foundations of life for their own profit. If a terrorist was attacking your local utilities, and causing chaos in your food, water, housing and energy supply you would act in defense, not adapt. The only difference is order of magnitude. An attack is direct, and climate change is indirect. At least terrorists have a political ideology. Climate change is caused by privileged people unwilling to give up comfort and ease.
And by the way, everything on earth is not evolved for another climate, it usually takes hundreds of thousands of years - not decades. And the climate won’t stop changing until we stop emissions. Adapting to a moving target is impossible. A functioning civilization in an unstable climate is not possible.
And fossil fuels will be depleted sooner than people realize. US shale production will peak in 2024 and face sharp decline thereafter. Most major producers don’t disclose reserves, but there are signals that global production already peaked. Most known reserves are not recoverable. Which is all to say, an energy transition is inevitable, but the devastation of natural collapse is not.
@@Rnankn It is hard to estimate how well life on Earth can adjust to warming. A warm earth is the usual climate condition, but we are returning to it at a faster pace than has ever happened before. We should be worried, but we may find that evolution has an easier time than expected due to previously adapted genetic variations still circulating in populations since the last time the Earth was warm. We can also assist species moving as they migrate to follow shifting climate regions. For example, if a species endemic to an island is threatened by warming, we may be able to save it by transferring it to another cooler region.
If all emissions stopped today, the glaciers would still continue to melt, as we’ve already tipped past a point where the climate has already changed and we’re just seeing the effects of the change catching up. We’ve inherited the momentum of generations of change, but we can’t really blame our ancestors either because they did not know the ramifications of their development.
Blaming climate change on “privileged individuals” might sound good to you but it doesn’t actually do good. It might slightly motivate people to help prepare for the change that is almost certainly inevitable at this point, but it likely just antagonizes and makes people defensive. As a person who already has a fairly small carbon in footprint, there isn’t very much that I can do to reduce it further without completely cutting myself off from the modern world (ie., give up all electricity usage and becoming an Amish farmer). Instead of looking for people to blame, we should work together to figure out how we can adapt.
As you mentioned, we will probably run out of easy to access fuel soon enough anyways. We’re going to need to find solutions to these problems no matter what. I am trying to focus on finding solutions.
Energy = Economy...you choose.
It is more like: Energy - Environment - Economy. Pick any two.
Is there such a thing as climate protection investment?
If you're building something you're not protecting.
Ask what governments are doing considering that the G7 know who blew up Germany north stream one and two pipelines

We’re gonna need similar standards everywhere. This developing country exemption, especially for China and India cannot stand.
Why do you believe a person in the west has the right to emit much more CO2 than a person from China or India?
most CO2 was emitted by developed country in their history, and they still have higher per capita CO2 emisson than China and India. So that is none of China and India's responsibility causing this😁
@@billshi6005 no. It’s everybody’s emissions since 1990 when it became clear.
@@SeeLasSee But the emissions that cause the problem did not start from 1990, but Industrial Revolution.
The truth
Only if there is a financial bonus handouts an back room deals.
Very few will change or have the money to change goin forward.

Are we really commiting to saving the planet when people are dying now?
Can we save the Human before saving the planet? We have made efforts to save so many animals from extinction.
Can we switch focus to the Human now before climate?

@@dinaion8582 Presstitutes as Gerald Celente would say…
God is committed to ending climate change, and He will.
(Revelation 11:18) "bring to ruin those ruining the earth."
He will go even further by promising to restore the health of our planet fully.
"The wilderness and the parched land will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron."-Isaiah 35:1.
"There will be an abundance of grain on the earth; On the top of the mountains it will overflow."-Psalms 72:16.
No government on the planet can accomplish this. Jehovah God can and will, and He confidently tells us.
"From the beginning, I predicted the outcome; long ago, I foretold what would happen. I said that my plans would never fail, that I would do everything I intended to do." (Isaiah 46:10)
Knowing this brings peace of mind and freedom from a fear of the future. But this peace and freedom are reserved for those who do Jehovah's will and remain obedient. 🙂💖
Despite the economic crisis, this is still a good time to invest in Gold and crypto investing in different streams of income in other not to depend on government for funds and avoid all the chitchat about the inflation.
Because now I'm no longer waiting for the GRANT LOAN because I earn $59,700 every 10 days recently
Trading crypto now would be wise, but trading without a professional is really bad, I tried to trade alone, I completely lost a lot of money till I started trading with expert Bernie Doran that is a nice broker
Woooo that man his good work has been everywhere. Been seeing a lot of good comments about him on several places. I feel more confident investing with him, I've been on the train for over two weeks now... best Broker for life
how does this work? Keep seeing his name pop up all over the place and I and my husband are interested 👍
