\u00a0Latin American companies have opportunities and risks in the face of climate change.

The start of a new year invites us to reflect on business resilience and the climate crisis. We are approaching the 2030<\/strong>, which is decisive for achieving the ambitious target of reducing global emissions by 50%,<\/strong> and avoid the worst impacts. The report <\/span>Integrity Matters <\/span><\/i>presented by high-level experts at COP27, proclaims the importance of the involvement of business, the financial sector and cities in climate action;<\/strong> on this depends the possibility of \u201cscaling up the ambition to ensure a sustainable planet, or increasing the possibility of failing in the attempt\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It is a trend in the world's largest companies to set carbon neutrality goals and analyze climate risk. But how are we doing in Latin America? There is little information on the subject, given that the percentage of companies that publish their commitments and progress is low; for example, only 3% of companies on the platform <\/span>Science Based Targets<\/span><\/i> (SBT) are from LATAM. With the to learn how companies in the region are contributing to the Paris Agreement.<\/strong> and understand their motivations and challenges, Dragonfly created<\/strong> the <\/span>Latin America Corporate Climate Action Report, <\/b>a survey that included 109 companies from 9 countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The good news is that the number of companies<\/strong> which is by measuring its carbon footprint has increased 28%<\/strong> emissions in the last 5 years and are also expanding the scope of measurement. One third of them are considering the emissions of their value chain. On the other hand, 72% has identified measures to reduce its emissions,<\/strong> but only 32%<\/strong> has a concrete plan<\/strong> to do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

According to the Report, i<\/span>nitiating on the road to sustainability is not easy for the Latin American business sector. Incentives, regulations, and consumer and market demand for change are incipient. In addition, most operate in emerging economies, which are highly affected by COVID-19. However, the more mature companies decided to take action because they identified future risks and chose to anticipate them. They report that they have achieved significant savings, covered new market niches, improved their license to operate and created jobs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The region's business sector faces a number of challenges on its path to sustainability. Knowing your level of climate maturity, as well as measuring your carbon footprint are two decisive steps to build more resilient companies that contribute to a more sustainable planet.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
