The IPCC AR6 synthesis report has been released, recapping the findings of the prior three reports and providing an overview of the status of climate change. The report states that global warming is of utmost importance for humanity in the near and long-term future, caused by unsustainable energy use, land use, and patterns of production and consumption. The report predicts that the 1.5℃ temperature target will be reached within two decades causing irreversible and adverse impacts on society and our ecosystem. However, immediate action to decarbonize emissions across all sectors and industries can help to reach the 1.5℃ target by 2050. The report emphasizes the importance of using regulatory, policy, and economic instruments to ensure decarbonization and climate resilience in organizations.

In a significant step towards achieving global net-zero emissions, the Net-Zero Insurance Alliance (NZIA) committed to align their underwriting portfolios to net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. This announcement sets an ambitious target for (re)insurers members of the Alliance to transition towards a more sustainable future and underscores the urgent need for action.

As the timeline to comply with the CSRD comes closer for many companies, we are getting more and more questions about this directive. Our experts are here to answer these questions and create a better understanding of what’s expected from companies. With our blog series we will unravel the CSRD blog by blog.

Companies have a responsibility to respect human rights, and to do so, they are required to exercise human rights with due diligence. Multiple pieces of legislation are currently being implemented for making human rights due diligence a mandatory process.
