The global race to cut emissions to zero is a vital step in addressing climate change, and the DIY sector will rise to the challenge.
No corner of the globe is immune from the devastating consequences of climate change. Rising temperatures fuel environmental degradation, natural disasters, weather extremes, food and water insecurity, economic disruption, conflict, and terrorism. Sea levels are rising, the Arctic is melting, coral reefs are dying, oceans are acidifying, and forests are burning.
Business as usual is not good enough. As the infinite cost of climate change reaches irreversible highs, now is the time for bold collective action.
This presents an opportunity for DIY retailers to come together to address one of our planet’s fundamental environmental issues while developing our businesses.
