Over the past week, significant developments have emerged in the global climate landscape, focusing on climate impacts, sustainability reporting, and environmental governance. Among the most crucial stories is the warning of the profound effects of climate change on malaria in Africa. Research suggests that by 2050, an additional 500,000 deaths from malaria could occur due to the changing climate, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to mitigate these impacts. In Singapore, the skills gap, high cost, and poor data are reported to be impeding climate reporting by listed firms. This underscores the significance of robust reporting practices in understanding and addressing climate-related risks and impacts. Further, the launch of the first global standard for reporting agricultural land-use emissions by GHG Protocol is a pivotal step towards harmonizing and enhancing climate-related reporting practices globally. The new standard aims to cover traceability requirements for Scope 3 emissions, with the endorsement of palm oil players. While this development is commendable, it is noted that the standard does not yet encompass the measurement of forest carbon emissions, an aspect that the standard setter is working on developing. These stories underscore the multi-faceted nature of the climate crisis, where impacts, reporting, and governance play critical roles in shaping the global response to environmental challenges.
