Corporate Governance EP4: Festive Gift Giving

There are innumerable threats to the sustainability of the natural environment, such as the adverse impact of climate change, which includes weather event intensity, water and food scarcity, ecosystem disruption, infrastructure damage, sea level rise, and harm to human health and livelihoods.
