The second-best time for sustainability<\/a> in business is now because climate change is advancing<\/b>. <\/p>\n

According to the Stockholm Resilience Center<\/a>, 5 of the 9 planetary boundaries have been exceeded due to human activity over the past seventy years. <\/p>\n

The Paris Agreement – COP21- of December 2015 and the subsequent reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC<\/a> attempt to reduce the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees by 2050 to reduce the effects of climate change. But that implies enormous changes in our business models<\/b> and production and consumption systems that must be started urgently.   <\/p>\n

It is now, without a doubt<\/b>, because it is also urgent to resolve energy dependence on non-renewable resources (around 80% of the total energy consumed in the world comes from fossil resources, according to the World Bank). <\/p>\n

Lack of supply, rising prices, and territorial conflicts associated with the control of resources make it urgent to accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources.  <\/p>\n

It is now because it is the time for companies. Governments, although probably more slowly than we would like, are making decisions and reaching agreements: the 2030 Agenda, the SDGs, and the Paris agreement… People in this hyper-connected society are increasingly able to influence, through our actions<\/b>, changes in production and consumption patterns. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tCompanies are the agents
\nof change in society.<\/p>\n
