Government And Business Response To Climate Change Essay.

Key Issues

What Is The Response Of Government And Business Concerning The Climate Change?

Argument:The problem of climate change has increased has increased to such an extent that the business people along with the government have to take some initiative collaboratively to overcome the adversity.

Defining the terms and concept

Overview of the climate change that highlights the types of global warming, its causes and impact should be emphasized. The paragraph will start from description of the concept of global warming and then description of different types of global warming and comparison among these types. Moreover, to provide more details, Probable cause of the global warming and people, who are mostly affected by the process, should be provided by me. The supportive arguments for the consequences of global warming will be taken from the article “Perception of climate change. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” written by (Hansen et al. 2012).

The details about climate changes in past and its effect on environmental diversity is planned to discuss in this paragraph. The information is then followed by the details of information of the gases responsible for the occurrence of climate change. The arguments and supportive statements are taken from “The challenge to keep global warming below 2? C. Nature Climate Change” written by (Peters et al. 2013). Details on rapid climate change in the natural cycle, timeframe of the climate change along with the concept of the Milankovitch Cycles, change in the Atmospheric Composition and information on Change in the Forcing Levels is also planned to be included in the essay.

The role of CSR in overcoming the global warming and climate change will be discussed. The comparison between the current temperature with that of the 2 decades ago to represent the actual scenario of the global warming and climate change will be highlighted. Collect statistical facts on climate change like percentage of carbon dioxide emission, global temperature from different news arties and journal paper to support the argument. Lastly, in the introduction part of the essay will be collected by me. The linkage between CSR and climate change will be discussed. Examples of corporations teaming up with nonprofit partners and percentage increases in the involvement in CSR activity for overcoming the problem of global warming will also be discussed.

Perception of community on the increase in problem of global warming and then explain the linkage of global warming with carbon emission will be included. Furthermore the article written by Ihlen (2009) is used to discuss the impact with justification of climate change on agricultures along with the impact of global warming on the polar melting and melting glaciers issues with examples. Moreover, the effect of climate change on human health is discussed followed by the explanation of ocean acidification and sea level rise due to increase of climate change and impact of climate change on the economy of the world with examples (Nacu-Schmidt et al. 2016). Lastly, solutions that scientists have developed for overcoming the global warming problem and implementation program of the develop solutions for overcoming global warming will be included. I think in this way, I will be able to address the adverse impact on the climate change in the living atmosphere.

Role of CSR

The concept of Neoliberalism will be described and its impact on the acceptance of climate change and global warming is also discussed. The details of why most of the people of much country are unaware of the global warming problem will be discussed. The major initiatives taken by government for making people in the world aware of the condition of global warming will be highlighted in this paragraph (Martens 2014). The mode of communication chosen for promoting the awareness of climate change in every sector of the earth will be also mentioned in this section. Principal objectives taken by government that represent neoliberalism concept will be included. In addition to that, the assessment of change in human behavior at preset and couple of decades ago concerns global warming (Karl et al. 2015). Lastly, the future strategies to improve the promotion of the affect and solution of climate change is also planned to write for ending the essay (Cody et al. 2015).

The number of participative countries for the climate change projects like climate change summits formulated by United Nations climate change conference along with the resources allocation for climate change projects. Government legislation on climate change with reason for initiation (Example- “Act on Biofuel Blending Obligation”, Belguim’s Act on the “Progressive Phase-out of Nuclear Energy from 2015 to 2025”, “Creation of the National Climate Change Cabinet – Decree 891/2016” and others) will be included so as to provide relevant arguments. Moreover, the positive impacts of these legislative frameworks is also planned to be included followed with the examples of different government legislation on climate change (Kosaka and Xie 2013). The impact of these legislations on the business will also be highlighted. In addition to that the details about climate change programs or social activity for addressing the issue of climate change is also planned to write from support with the article written by Peters et al. (2013). Some examples of this positive evidence for proving that the problems for climate change have been addressed effectively (example- by the year 2050, total of 139 countries have planned to use 100% renewable energy) will also be addressed followed by problem faces by government to implement the developed problem and strategies to overcome the problem by governing bodies Lastly, the infrastructure that needs to be in place for adopting the changes formulated by government is also discussed.

In this paragraph the initiatives taken by businesspeople is taken into consideration for addressing the issues of global warming. Thus, the evidence to provide the traditional business practices that creates huge carbon emission is addressed properly. Taken from the research of Wolkovich et al. (2012) the details about the percentage of emitted carbon or statistical data from business that contributes in global warming across the world will also be provided. Information about technologies that business people or scientists are developing to overcome climate change issue will also be included (Haddeland et al. 2014). The changes in accomplishing business procedure or operating models in conventional and contemporary in organization to reduce the carbon emission will also be addressed (Dai 2013). Lastly, the explanation of investment landscapes that is adopted for overcoming the problem of climate change is planned to be included along with the benefits of adopting new technology in reducing the impact of the concerned issue (Urry 2015).

Devastating Consequences of Climate Change

Conclusion

The brief overview of the climate change and the raised problem due to global warming and climate change will be presented. The details about the governmental concern on overcoming the climate change problem is also planned to include following with change in business process for overcoming the issue of global warming. The current situation of the global warming after implementing the government and business remedies along with the future expectation for climate change is also summarized from the research that is done for developing the essay. In this way, the last concluding line is planned to written whether or not the condition for global warming and climate change gets improved or deteriorates.
