UN Sustainable Goal 13 – Climate Action

Leschaco CSR

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today. The effects of global warming, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and loss of biodiversity, are already being felt around the world. To address this urgent issue, the United Nations has identified climate action as one of its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The goal of climate action is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This will require significant efforts from governments, businesses, and individuals to reduce their carbon footprint and transition to a low-carbon economy.

One of the key components of climate action is the need to transition to renewable energy sources. This means reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, and increasing our use of renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydro power. This will require significant investments in renewable energy infrastructure, as well as policies that promote the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Another important aspect of climate action is the need to reduce emissions from transportation. This means promoting the use of public transportation, walking, and cycling, as well as transitioning to electric vehicles. In addition, reducing emissions from buildings is also crucial, as buildings account for a significant amount of global emissions. This can be achieved through energy-efficient building design, the use of renewable energy sources, and the adoption of sustainable building materials.

Reducing emissions from industry is also a key component of climate action. This means promoting sustainable production practices, reducing waste, and increasing energy efficiency. In addition, businesses can also reduce their carbon footprint by adopting sustainable supply chain practices, such as sourcing materials from sustainable sources and reducing waste throughout the production process.​​​​

Leschaco is currently in the process of calculating its Corporate CO2 emissions and it is committed to become carbon neutral by 2030.
