Due to the climate changes the business faces major issues related to the dangerous drought and
weather that is the pattern which changes and can also be the reason for causing shortage of cross
that are sued for the food products. Increase in the demand of electricity will also take place due
to the transportation expenses and it would also high the cost for going goods, regulatory
restrictions that are linked to the climate changes that can also grows the costs resources
insufficiency and also would drive companies to utilize the secondary material and recycle more
waste (de Abreu and et.al., 2021). This is the reason why climate change impacts the business in
the 21st century.
Changing Demand :
Due to the changes in the climate there is a significant change in the global temperature

towards the environmentally friendly goods is which are helpful for the organization towards the
management of their operations. This is also due to the shift in the demand that has been able to

Harsher Working Conditions :
Increase in the temperature is also considered to be the factor that is besides said to create
pollution that is able to invest the substantial funding that helps in the upgrading of their own
facilities. As the weather gets more challenging for the business to do their operations the
increases the total amount of costs that the business had to incur. It ultimately is the loss for an
organization which has invested its money in the organization for being able to complete the
operations (Bunch, 2020).
Changes Regulations :
Due to the changes in the regulations of the government that occurs due to the increased
level of pollution in the environment. There is a significant impact on the economy that is under
these companies for the course of understanding the working of the shift that is helpful for their
power generation (Newell, 2020). This considered to be very helpful for the shifting their power
generation towards the cleaners resources that are helpful for the business to be able to manage
the operations. Energy organizations of course are not yet considered to be working to shift the
power generate towards the cleaner resources. Hence, the businesses have started to increase
their focus towards the ways in which they can reduce the overall the carbon commission.
Increase Public Pressure :
The development public grows the accepting the of the business that don't work for the
reduction of the environment impacts. Increasing the consumers operations for products that are
considered to be sustainable for the production of atleast having smaller environment that is able
to gain the impact for the comparable products (Macchi, 2021). The companies are also
considered to be the one that are able to increase the expected social responsibility of the
organization. It is also important for the business to be able to donate funds and resources for
meeting the needs of the environment charities.
Business can analyse the risk that it might have to face due to the analysis that is able to
defined in order cope up with the changes that would result the business impacting the
environment performance. Companies are also considered to be the factor that are also helpful
for the identification of opportunities.
