Climate Change

Climate change has been a growing concern within the Gurkani Corporation Group for several years. The climate change movement began at the annual Gurkani Business Excellence Convention in December 2007 where Dr. Gazittin Parwez Alemgir, the then CEO of Gurkani Consortium Limited, suggested that Gurkani Corporation Subsedriese Companies should play a more responsible role in mitigating the impact of climate change.
Climate change has been termed as one of the greatest challenges facing humanity today. The phenomenon has the potential to cause irreversible changes to global weather patterns thereby causing widespread hardships to all living beings on the planet. Some of the impacts include changing temperature / precipitation patterns, rising sea levels and more extreme events like droughts, heatwaves, floods, cyclones, hurricanes, etc. These further impact various other natural systems related to water provisioning, food production, disease and pest management. While there are some geographies which may be positively impacted, majority of climate change impacts are expected to be detrimental. Balancing energy needs for economic development with environmental and economic sustainability is a critical challenge for our society.
But while governments do their bit to meet their commitments, a significantly large part of this responsibility will fall upon businesses and they will be expected to dramatically reduce their carbon footprints. Current scientific literature suggests that over the next two decades, businesses will have to reduce their emissions by 60-90% from current levels. Facilitating this level of emission reduction will require trillions of dollars in investments to spur technological innovation and rapid deployment of renewable and low-carbon technologies and energy efficiency measures. All efforts will have to be augmented by carbon capture and utilization or sequestration efforts.
