To address climate change, there are several strategies being proposed and implemented, including:

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: This can be done through transitioning to clean energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydro power, improving energy efficiency, and reducing emissions from deforestation and other land use practices.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): This involves capturing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial processes and storing them underground instead of releasing them into the atmosphere.

Adaptation: This involves preparing for and adapting to the impacts of climate change that are already underway, such as sea-level rise and increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events.

Protecting and restoring carbon sinks: This involves conserving and restoring forests, wetlands, and other ecosystems that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Rising sea levels can affect coastal communities and infrastructure through increased coastal flooding, saltwater intrusion into freshwater supplies, and erosion. It can also lead to the displacement of people, loss of wildlife habitat, and decline in fisheries.

At this point, it is difficult to say when climate change will be irreversible. However, scientists have warned that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase at the current rate, the impacts of climate change could be severe and widespread, potentially leading to the extinction of many species and the displacement of millions of people.

Businesses can play a critical role in combating climate change by reducing their own greenhouse gas emissions, investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency, and advocating for policies to address climate change. They can also collaborate with governments and civil society organizations to address the challenge. However, more needs to be done to ensure that businesses are held accountable for their actions and that they are taking meaningful action to address climate change. For example, mandatory disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as increased investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency, could be areas for improvement.
