AI is here to stay and it can become a force for good. It is important, however, that we get to grips with potential environmental impacts and take steps to mitigate this before it is too late.

Extreme weather ranging from flooding to drought is becoming the norm as climate change increases pace. It’s still not too late, but more businesses must act now to help slow the impact on our planet.

As the biggest game in the world, football has a huge responsibility to lead the way when it comes to sustainability. This World Cup would have been a great place to start, but FIFA has missed it.

We have been warning for a considerable time that the climate crisis would be costly in many ways other than financially if we did not take action to reverse it at work and at home. That time has now come.

We firmly believe that sustainability extends from businesses to the environments and communities in which they operate. This has worked for AESSEAL and other Betterworld members - and for Grimsby!

Ill health is yet another serious problem we can add to the list of those caused by climate change.
What will it take to make us act before it is too late?

The surge in the sales of electric vehicles shows the vulnerability of our dependence on oil. It is time the world made good on its promises regarding support for the switch to electric vehicles.

The requirement for solar panels and heat pumps on new build housing is a great step forward which must be closely monitored – but why wait until 2028?

With South Yorkshire heavily involved in plans which could lead to reduced carbon consumption and the creation of jobs, nuclear energy looks set to play a huge part in future developments.

There is much more we can do regarding the way in which we treat water. Far too much is wasted and when there is a pollution issue it is not always taken seriously enough. It is a vital resource that can be better used across the world.

Betterworld member DMG Mori modified its global production line, which could prevent 19 million tonnes of CO2e emissions annually. They deserve great credit for their commitment to operating in an environmentally responsible manner.

It is fantastic news that China has cleaned up its act and started to reduce its CO2 emissions, but it is a drop in the ocean when you consider how much damage we need to repair across the planet. We must all do more – immediately. #CleanEnergy#Betterworld#CO2#China
Countries working together to end the reliance on fossil fuels is the only way forward. Powering 143 million homes through wind is ambitious, and we must ensure it happens.

It is not before time that laws were strengthened to force those businesses that can afford it to strengthen their due diligence when it comes to responsible corporate behaviour. Business needs to act now.

It is encouraging that renewable energy produced a record amount of electricity in Great Britain last year, but there is so much to do if we are to get anywhere near the 2030 targets. Zero bill households could well play a part.

The landscape has changed dramatically and with it a different environmental challenge has emerged. Air pollution from coal mines and steel works may be largely gone, but technology and data centres have increased emissions of electricity and carbon.
Another year goes by and the climate crisis deepens, with little in the way of commitment from the world’s main players to tackle the issue. We should be doing all we can to secure a better world, not no world.
