How to Adapt Your Activities to Climate Change: Understand Your Climate-Related Risks Using the mycris Online Tool

Even if we stopped emissions today, the greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere are causing—and will continue to cause—drastic climate change. The consequences can affect activities throughout your entire value chain. For example, certain ports could be damaged by rising sea levels, delaying deliveries; extreme temperatures can reduce the efficiency of industrial processes; and strong winds can destroy physical assets. It is important to identify and anticipate these risks.
