KPMG: Six Industries in Danger from Climate Change Risks
Professional services organization KPMG released a report recently claiming six major industry sectors are in particular danger from climate change risks. Aviation, healthcare, tourism, transport, oil and gas and the financial services sector all feature in the "danger zone," meaning they score highly on the risks which face them yet score poorly in terms of their preparedness to face these risks.
The report, "Climate Changes Your Business" represents some of the most comprehensive analysis of its kind to date, based on a review of 50 authoritative published studies addressing the business risks and economic impacts of climate change at sector level.
