What is Climate Change?

"The Key to tackling Climate Change is to consider CARBON as a COST to the business. If we can effectively manage our Carbon Footprint, we can reduce business overheads."

The planet's climate is constantly changing. The global average temperature is currently in the region of 15C. Geological and other evidence suggests that, in the past, this average may have been as high as 27C and as low as 7C.
But scientists are concerned that the natural fluctuation has been overtaken by a rapid human-induced warming that has serious implications for the stability of the climate on which much life on the planet depends.

Climate Change is the latest section to be added to the SRTP programme and will therefore be a new area for suppliers to consider and begin to tackle.

The "Climate Change Guide" download (available from the downloads page) should help to explain what is meant by Climate Change and how suppliers can begin to approach the subject.

The downloads page also includes an excel file of the Kyoto Protocol Countries and a PDF document on the emissions from fertiliser production.
