Business Action

Business & Finance

Although global commercial and financial centres may feel a long way from the Arctic, the global economy is highly dependent on a healthy planet. And the business case for tackling the climate and biodiversity crises has never been clearer. Over half of the world’s GDP is highly or moderately dependent on nature and its services.

Businesses both influence the Earth’s systems - through the emissions they emit, resources they extract, and the decisions and investments they make - and are exposed to climate and nature risks. Safeguarding the planet not only ensures the longevity of economies into the future, but it also presents significant business opportunities.

We already have the solutions to address these global challenges. We just need to act - at scale and with urgency.

“The world of business and finance needs to see this. The polar regions are just too important to ignore. These remote zones regulate our climate and enrich our planet, but they are under severe threat. The unrelenting march of global warming is pushing these regions up-to and through critical tipping points. This expedition will only succeed if we raise awareness of the crisis that we’ll surely witness when we arrive in the Northwest Passage”.
