Lord Smith of Finsbury, a cabinet minister in the last Labour government and chairman of the Environment Agency, said that while many companies were starting to take steps to reduce their emissions, few businesses had started to appreciate how rises in temperatures would impact on their operations.
“To the business world, I would say it is important to pay attention to cutting down on emissions, doing the mitigation stuff will be increasingly important. But it is equally important to see how you as a business will cope with those changes,” said Smith.
“For example, if you are a business using large amounts of water – you need to be thinking about the level of water resources available in summer months. In 30 years in the South and East, levels of flow in our rivers will be down 50%. Are you beside a river? What is the flood risk and will it increase?
Um. OK.
