Partial Title 1MGT723 Research Project SupplementaryBy NameCourseInstructorInstitutionLocationDateResearch project supplementaryIntroductionIn this research project we shall look at the impacts of organizations as a source of carbonemissions and climate change. It has been argued before that the world right now is at a tipping point in relation to climate change which is brought about by organizations’ being the primary source of carbon emissions in the environment. Organizations all over the world are therefore faced with the obligation of making necessary changes in regards to the reduction of carbon emission and hence impact positively to climate change and the environment. However,

Partial Title 2extensive research have been made and it has been found out that climate change is unequivocal and mainly human activities in collaboration with organizations activities have contributed to carbon dioxide emissions and this has greatly impacted the climate negatively. The IPCC computer models are indicating that the climate changes will still continue due to the greenhousegas emissions in the 21st century and mostly these emissions are brought about by organizations around the world dealing with production and manufacturing of different products (Daniels 2011). Projections have been made and it is observed that the continuation of rise in rates of carbon emissions will result to a global temperature of about 2.6-4.8 degrees Celsius by the end of this century. Reduction of these gas emissions requires sustainable means of stopping the greenhouse gas emissions into our environment from organizations and human activities. Literature ReviewThis study is meant to aid in knowing whether climate change brings significant risks for organizations and is organizations the principal source of carbon emissions into the environment causing negative impact to the climate change. Organizations are the principal source of carbon emissions into the environment due to the activities carried out in manufacturing and production of different organization products. Energy demand is increasing globally every other day and thiscause greenhouse gas emission from the energy sectors to increase as well. The increase in demand is brought about by increase economic growth as well as increase in population. Organizations have been working on a long-term activity of gradual decarbonisation of energy but this has failed because of increase in coal burning (Propwise 2014). However, there are adaptive options that are available to be used as preventive measure of greenhouse gas emissions. These measures are such as ensuring there is cutting emissions from fossil fuel extraction and conversion. There is also the option of organizations ensuring that they switch to

Partial Title 3other lower carbon fuels like doing away with coal burning to introduction of gas. Organizations can also improve the energy efficiency in regards to transmission and energy distribution. Another adaptation option is organizations ensuring there is increase in usage of renewable and nuclear generation and also the introduction of carbon capture storage so that it does not escape into the atmosphere and cause harm. The energy sector should ensure that they supply enough energy and reduce the demand for the energy so that they can stop stretching their production to meet high demands. The energy sector all over the world should come together and establish a strong global political action in regards to climate change and reduction of emissions. They should set a standard emission level of say 2 degrees Celsius temperature target. This targets will aid in ensuring all energy industries in the world is set to achieve the standard targets and this will result in a solution to complete decarbonisation. The government and carbon emissions regulators should come up with incentive measures for those that are investing in low carbon technologies. This will encourage and motivate the energy sector to come up with low carbon technologies that will help in prevention and final stoppage of carbon emissions. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions are important as it brings about benefits such as improved health as well as creation of employment opportunities. Strong mitigation policies should be put in place and failure to do so will result in the energy demand becoming higher and higher due to the economic growth and rise in population (Verzuh 2016). Climate change will also greatly impact the infrastructure and the means used to produce and transport energy. Climate change will causeextreme weather pattern changes that will then affect the offshore and onshore facilities. These facilities will not be able to function properly and this will result in the oil and gas industries to suffer badly in terms of production shutdowns. Climate change will also affect different

Partial Title 4geographical areas such as the coastal area as there will be a rise in sea levels. This will negatively affect the power plants in such areas and also other energy transport infrastructures such as the oil and gas pipelines. Rise in temperatures will affect electricity production and generation globally. Climate change will also affect crops and other factors. HypothesesThe hypothesis for this study is the impacts of organizations as a source of carbon emissions and climate change. Does climate change brings significant risks for organizations andis organizations the principal source of carbon emissions into the environment causing negative impact to the climate change? In this study, according to the CDP data, we shall see how organizations are the principal source of carbon emissions into the environment due to the activities carried out in manufacturing and production of different organization products. There has been an increase in coal burning and this emits dangerous gases into the atmosphere and thuscausing major climate changes. Climate change has also brought about significant challenges in the energy production and transmission. This is because of the change in temperatures and weather patterns. Data Collection and Research MethodThe data source for this research is use of field work and researchers as well as information from the internet, books and journals. Field researcher went to different organizations especially in the energy sector and used the questionnaire to collect information in the format of question and answer. Pictures and presentations were also used to collect the necessary information. The data collection methods used is use of questionnaires by the researchers in the field and use of information gotten from books and journals in the library. The
