Greenhouse gases (GHG) are a collection of gases contributing to global warming. Their presence in the atmosphere traps heat from the sun, resulting in warmer temperatures over time.
The increased emission of these gases following the industrial age has resulted in the world warming faster than at any other point in history.
The debate on the environmental pillar and climate risk arising from the broader ESG agenda implies that organisations and society, in general, must respond to the physical and transition risk posed by climate risks resulting from a warmer world.
