Resumen

Las empresas deben adoptar nuevos roles más allá de los consumidores y habilitadores de energía para combatir el cambio climático de manera efectiva. Un nuevo marco identifica cinco roles clave de las empresas para impulsar la acción climática y lograr objetivos de sostenibilidad.

Área de la Ciencia:

Negocios y Cambio Climático
Sostenibilidad Corporativa
Política Ambiental

Sus antecedentes:

La mayoría de las empresas no están descarbonizando adecuadamente sus operaciones ni contribuyendo a los objetivos climáticos.
Las preocupaciones sobre el lavado de imagen ecológico han llevado a un aumento del 'greenhushing' entre las empresas.
Existe la necesidad de ampliar la comprensión de los roles empresariales en la acción climática.

Objetivo del estudio:

Integrar la acción climática empresarial introduciendo un marco novedoso.
Identificar y definir los diversos roles que las empresas pueden desempeñar para abordar el cambio climático.
Proporcionar una herramienta para investigadores, responsables políticos y líderes empresariales.

Principales métodos:

Se realizó una revisión interdisciplinaria de la literatura.
Se recopiló investigación empírica del Reino Unido.
Se desarrolló un nuevo marco que categoriza los roles empresariales.

Principales resultados:

Se identificaron cinco roles distintos para las empresas en la acción climática.
El enfoque existente está en las empresas como consumidoras y facilitadoras de energía.
Se destacaron tres roles adicionales: influencer, ciudadano e inversor.

Conclusiones:

El marco propuesto amplía la conceptualización de las contribuciones empresariales a la acción climática.
El reconocimiento de estos cinco roles puede fomentar una participación empresarial más integral en el cambio climático.
El marco sirve como una heurística valiosa para promover la acción climática empresarial.

The Carbon Cycle

The Carbon Cycle

Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

What is Climate?

What is Climate?

Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Global Climate Change

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Carbon-dioxide Fixation

Carbon-dioxide Fixation

Carbon dioxide fixation in prokaryotes enables the assimilation of inorganic carbon into organic molecules, supporting biosynthetic pathways, sustaining ecosystems, and contributing to the global carbon cycle. It also has industrial applications in carbon capture and bioproduct synthesis. Autotrophic organisms rely on this process to utilize CO₂ as a carbon source in diverse environments.The Calvin CycleThe Calvin cycle is the most widespread carbon fixation mechanism, primarily used by...

Microbes and Climate Change

Microbes and Climate Change

Microorganisms are pivotal agents in Earth's biogeochemical cycles, significantly influencing climate dynamics through their metabolic activities. These microbes modulate the levels of key greenhouse gases by both contributing to and helping mitigate climate change.Microbial Contributions to Greenhouse Gas EmissionsRising global temperatures accelerate microbial metabolism, which, in turn, speeds up the decomposition of organic matter. This process releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) through...
