Global Panel Urges Companies to Disclose Climate Change Risks

Add to that other global corporations that will face growing losses from flooding, drought and other severe effects of climate change in the coming years, he said, and there was the real danger of a systemic shock to the world economy."
The world is already committed to four degrees C. Temperature rise.
