Climate change
More than just carbon.
To contribute to sustainable development.
The scale of the economy-wide action required to mitigate climate change entails that the impacts of mitigation strategies go far beyond climate change itself, to energy security, health impacts, air quality, land use and biodiversity, and cost of living, consumption patterns and economic growth.
It is for this reason that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all, emphasize the need for a holistic approach to address social, environmental and economic development.
Therefore, at EcoTraders we believe that the most successful mitigation strategies contribute to sustainable, long-term growth, and that quantifying these co-benefits is crucial to proper strategy development.
