The World Economic Forum recently published its\u00a0Global Risks Report 2023,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>which surveys experts on the main risks for the world in the next two and ten years. The business sector surveyed considers that of\u00a010 risks, 5 of which are associated with the effects of climate change<\/strong>\u00a0The risks to business over the next two years are: extreme weather and environmental disasters, failure to mitigate climate change, natural resource crises, and failure of adaptation measures. It is becoming increasingly strategic and urgent to manage the impact of climate risks on business.<\/p>

What can companies do in the face of this scenario?<\/strong><\/p>

As a first step,\u00a0identify risks<\/strong>\u00a0to be able to manage them and from there, build more resilient and prosperous organizations. However, the\u00a0Latin America Climate Action Report 2022,<\/strong>\u00a0publication by Lib\u00e9lula in alliance with business associations in the region, indicates that the private sector is not prioritizing this analysis:\u00a0only 22% of the companies surveyed have identified and are managing the risks and opportunities that climate change presents to their business.<\/strong>\u00a0Most link risks to climate disasters, such as floods, which can severely affect physical structures, assets and operations (roads and transportation). Few companies have identified new opportunities to generate value in a context of climate change.<\/p>

On the other hand, the Report has also revealed that\u00a0good business practices<\/strong>\u00a0that are creating new businesses from their management of this context. One example is\u00a0Ferreycorp,<\/strong>\u00a0which installed Caterpillar solar panels, which it represents in Peru, at its repair center in Arequipa. In this way it managed to reduce its GHG emissions and generated energy savings of S\/246 thousand, in turn promoting the sale of solar panels to its mining clients. Another case is that of\u00a0Chumbagua Sugar Company of Honduras,<\/strong>\u00a0that identified that generating energy from its waste was a business opportunity. Today it not only supplies its plant with 100% of bioenergy generated from bagasse, but also transfers more than 50% to the national energy grid. Like these, there are many other examples of companies that by implementing climate risk management measures discover opportunities to generate more value.<\/p>

In conclusion,\u00a0the climate crisis<\/strong>\u00a0is not only a threat: it can also be a huge opportunity to\u00a0business transformation opportunity<\/strong>\u00a0that positively impacts the environment, people and drives new business opportunities. Business leaders in our region have the great challenge of incorporating this vision into their strategy, catalyzing innovation in their organizations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
