Similarly, 58% of the jobs required to service those opportunities will be situated in Asia, creating as many as 232 million roles for the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAsia is key on the journey towards net zero,\u201d said Gim Huay Neo, Managing Director, Centre for Nature and Climate, World Economic Forum. \u201cAsia accounts for 51% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. More than half of annual emissions are from industries like electricity, manufacturing, and land use. Business has a strong role in cutting emissions and climate action. To scale, accelerate, and sustain efforts, business needs to collaborate with government and communities, harness innovation, and build partnerships across their value chains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The whitepaper makes clear the impact of inaction on Asia. Beyond the widespread environmental and individual impact, the report notes extreme climate change is expected to drastically affect Asian economies. Based on a severe increase of 3.2\u00b0C by 2050, Asia is projected to see a reduction in GDP by over 26%. Southeast Asia is predicted to experience a GDP reduction of 37%\u2014by far the worst around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe business case for climate action is clear,\u201d said Paul Marriott, APJ President at 麻豆原创. \u201cWe know that 50% of Asian businesses believe addressing environmental issues will be material to business results within the next five years. Organizations who ignore or hedge their climate strategies gamble their ethics, revenues, and competitive advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe need for corporate climate action is urgent. The report offers a framework outlining actions leaders can take across immediate and mid-term timeframes, as well as strategies to enable long-term growth through climate action,\u201d said Neeraj Aggarwal, Chairman of BCG Asia-Pacific. \u201cThe report also provides best practices from Southeast Asian organizations who have already begun to make progress on climate action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The preliminary findings of <em>Accelerating Asia\u2019s Advantage: A Guide to Corporate Climate Action<\/em> were discussed during a session at the World Economic Forum\u2019s Annual Meeting 2023 in Davos-Klosters earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Net-Zero challenge requires urgent public-private co-operation on a global scale. The Forum engages and builds multi-stakeholder platforms to scale and accelerate the climate and nature agenda,\u201d said Gim Huay Neo. \u201cOnly through fostering trust and collaboration can we safeguard our global commons and secure a net zero, nature positive and better living future for all of us and generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More information and the full <em>Accelerating Asia\u2019s Advantage: Your Guide to Corporate Climate Action<\/em> report is <a href=\"https:\/\/dam.sap.com\/mac\/app\/p\/pdf\/asset\/preview\/JfF6FbV?ltr=a&amp;rc=10\">available here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE \u2013 A new whitepaper published today by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group\u2019s (BCG) Southeast Asia Centre for Climate &amp;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4904,"featured_media":4777,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19013,5570738],"tags":[],"region":[5570938,5570777],"sapn-display":[45149,5571011,5571012],"sapn-type":[4446],"class_list":["post-4739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-corporate","category-sustainability","region-asia-pacific-japan","region-southeastasia","sapn-display-homepage-hero","sapn-display-news-hero","sapn-display-news-spotlight","sapn-type-press-release"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) -
