Climate Change - Real or a Con?
In a wide-ranging speech, the President of the United States dismissed climate change as the “greatest con job ever”, even claiming that UN predictions “were wrong”. His remarks were met with gasps across the assembly floor.
The facts are at odds with the President.
Here are just a few resources worth reviewing:

🔗 BBC: Understanding climate change impacts
🔗 BBC: Climate science explained
🔗 edie: US businesses increase climate ambitions
The signals are clear:
Biodiversity is declining, fewer insects on our windscreens is just one visible sign.
Food prices are rising, weather patterns are shifting production costs here in the UK and globally.
This is not just an environmental issue, it’s an economic and business challenge. Forward-looking organisations are already adapting.
How is your business preparing to mitigate the risks and take advantage of the opportunities related to climate change?
Overcoming the impacts of climate apathy isn’t about shouting louder. It’s about showing up with empathy, clarity, and a clear strategy. It’s about helping people see that they’re not alone, that their voice matters, and that together, we can build a better future.
The climate story is still being written. Policymakers need to be the catalyst but every one of us has to play their part if we are to be successful in overcoming apathy towards Climate Change.
When we encourage constructive critical thinking, we deepen understanding and engagement.
