Climate change

Climate change refers to the long-term alteration of Earth's climate, caused by natural processes and human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases. It results in global temperature increases, changing weather patterns, and significant ecological, economic, and social impacts.

Climate change is one of the most pressing global issues of our time. Its primary driver is the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O) in the atmosphere, which amplify the greenhouse effect by trapping heat that would otherwise escape into space.

Impacts of Climate Change:

• Global Warming: Rising average temperatures worldwide, with particularly severe effects in Arctic regions.
• Extreme Weather Events: More frequent and intense heatwaves, floods, droughts, and storms.
• Sea Level Rise: Melting glaciers and polar ice caps are raising sea levels, threatening coastal regions.
• Loss of Biodiversity: Ecosystems and species face extinction as they struggle to adapt to rapidly changing conditions.
• Economic and Social Impacts: Climate change affects livelihoods, agriculture, energy supplies, and infrastructure, exacerbating social inequalities.

Initiatives like the Paris Agreement aim to limit global warming to well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels. Businesses, especially manufacturing companies, play a crucial role in this effort by reducing CO₂ emissions.

Manufacturers face the dual challenge of cutting emissions while remaining competitive. Climate change brings increasing regulatory requirements and rising expectations from customers, investors, and the public.

How Tanso Supports Manufacturing Companies:

• Efficient Emission Accounting: Tools for calculating the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) and Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) enable companies to analyze and reduce their emissions.
• Regulatory Compliance: Assistance in meeting requirements such as CSRD, the EU Taxonomy, and CBAM, which focus on climate action and transparency.
• Sustainable Transformation: Identification of emission hotspots in the supply chain and development of decarbonization strategies.

By leveraging the Tanso platform, manufacturing companies can achieve their climate goals, contribute positively to global climate protection, and secure their competitiveness in a sustainable economy.
