7. HOW TO MITIGATE RISKS WITH CLIMATE
CHANGE
• Better forest management practices - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/what-is-next-for-the-forestry-sector-
248000228
• Best water management practices - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/water-management-water-crisis-
world-may-2021
• More emphasis on the circular economy as part of moving to zero waste and other areas of the environmental
management - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/how-best-to-managed-the-circular-economy
• Mandatory reporting standards for ESG - https://ibm.box.com/s/vmyitcackqevvm1hcxv7wke6gudrpnce

8. BLOG – HOW BEST TO IDENTIFY CLIMATE RISKS
WITH PORTFOLIOS
Synopsis
Both the public and private sectors continue look at ways to mitigate climate risk as it relates to their asset holdings.
What is climate risk and stress testing?
he European Central Bank is stress testing the broader economy to assess the economic risk of climate change three
decades into the future, the bank's vice president said on Thursday.
While full results of the test, which includes four million companies worldwide and almost all euro zone banks, will
be published in mid-2021, early results show there is a clear benefit to early action, Luis de Guindos said.

9. FARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE
PRESENTATION TITLE 2/11/20XX 9
Blog - Robot farmers could improve jobs and help fight climate change – if they’re developed responsibly
Farming robots that can move autonomously in an open field or greenhouse promise a cleaner, safer agricultural
future. But there are also potential downsides, from the loss of much-needed jobs to the safety of those working
alongside the robots.
To ensure that the use of autonomous robots on farms creates more benefits than losses, a process of responsible
development is required. Society as a whole needs to be involved in setting the trajectories for future farming.

10. FOREST FIRES
PRESENTATION TITLE 2/11/20XX 10
Climate change is raising average global temperatures, bringing with it longer droughts, with cascading effects for
forests and wildfires. These impacts are highly place-dependent — they are determined by the ecology an
ecosystem and its history of disturbance, like wildfires, insect outbreaks or logging.

12. HYDROGEN
PRESENTATION TITLE 2/11/20XX 12
Blog - Why green hydrogen — but not grey — could help solve climate change.
Hydrogen can be burned like any other fuel in cars, ships, and airplanes, but because it does not contain
carbon, it will not produce CO2 emissions. More importantly, it can also power fuel cells that convert
hydrogen into clean electricity directly. This feature will trigger a revolution in portable, urban, and
autonomous power over long distances.
Challenges to widespread hydrogen adoption include the lack of a refueling and distribution
infrastructure, embryonic and evolving safety standards, and high costs. Most of these challenges are
being addressed as the number and scale of demonstration projects increases.
