Impacts of a Changing
Environment on the Corporate Sector
This new report, GEO-5 for
Business, is based on the flagship assessment by the UN Environment Programme
(UNEP), the Global Environment Outlook 5, which was launched in advance of the
Rio+20 Summit. GEO-5 for Business outlines current and future impacts of
environmental trends across a range of sectors from construction to food. It
dovetails with other assessments such as those by the UNEP hosted International
Resource Panel that estimate consumption of natural resources will triple by
2050 unless urgent action is taken to decouple economic growth from natural
resource use. GEO-5 for Business recommends that businesses conduct a deeper,
company-specific analysis, taking a life-cycle approach using this report as a
framework and guide.
