Climate & Biodiversity

We empower organizations to take strategic, bold and impactful action

As global temperatures continue to rise, we are witnessing more frequent and severe weather events, including hurricanes, droughts, wildfires, and the alarming melting of polar ice caps. These extreme weather phenomena pose significant threats to physical assets and human lives. For businesses all around the globe, disruptions to supply chains and increasing operational costs are becoming more common. Concurrently, species are disappearing at an alarming rate due to habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. This biodiversity loss negatively affects the health and integrity of ecological systems upon which human life depends. For business, biodiversity loss poses significant economic risks affecting their competitive stance, financing sources, and profitability potential.

Climate change and losses in biodiversity can no longer be viewed as a distant threat; they are a pressing reality that demand immediate attention. APCO Climate and Biodiversity is committed to partnering with organizations through every stage of their journey towards positive climate and biodiversity impact.
