Managing Climate Change
Around the world, many businesses are helping to solve the problem of climate change. Not only are companies speaking out about the problem, they are setting and meeting targets to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Large companies have the resources to document their GHG emissions, to set reduction targets and monitor progress.
Water Industry
Smaller organizations, including many in the water industry, often do not have the resources required to do this. However, Smaller companies, including water industry suppliers and water purveyors, can take simple steps to help mitigate climate change effects.
