Obama highlights the impact of climate change


The former US president recognizes the difficulty of the task, but believes "it is still possible to join the countries on a common agenda" on climate change. Starting with the US, which a year ago decided to abandon the Paris Agreement by decision of Donald Trump, whom the former US leader did not spare criticism references in this passage by Porto.

Another fact that he mentioned in the 56 minutes that he stepped on the stage of the Coliseum - which on July 6th, received the Climate Change Leadership Porto Summit 2018 - is "so many companies start to realize that [the protection of the environment] is good for their results and for job creation, noting that "this commercial interest" is relevant to continuing the fight against climate change.

Obama recalled that this theme "affects business now or in the future, affects economies around the world." He called for impacts to begin to be measured more effectively and these "monetized" costs, urging entrepreneurs to join in this struggle and to "exert political influence for governments to tackle this problem."

"It is important for companies to publicize the impacts of climate change." It is difficult for the general public to explain in abstract terms that it is not good for the planet to be warmer on a day like today. "These data exist, but they are not known. It has to be said that this will affect economic competitiveness and bring losses of millions and millions," he summarized.
