Out of Business

Price of dumping CO2 in atmosphere?
Very low or ZERO
![Page 5: Emergence of Carbon Labeling: Why all the trouble?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815fd3550346895dced4c3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
It doesn’t sound like much.
Index Status
Global CO2 concentra-tion Up by 40% (@393 PPM)
Global temperature Up by 0.7 ℃
Moisture content Up by 5%
Ocean acidity Up by 30%
But consequences can be very expensive

People had taken measures to prevent damage

The costs could not be avoided

Droughts can be expensive too. And they now last much longer.

2012 UK winter flood with serious economic implications

DEFRA may not renew their agreement for flood defense in 2013.
200,000 homes will have no insurance
No mortgage
Slower economy
It can be like a subprime mortgage crisis

Queensland flood (2010-2011)
Damage: $5.6 billion $2.8 billion raised for flood relief by budget cuts
$1 billion additional fund by delay-ing infrastructure projects
Flood levy implemented (2011) for everyone who earns more than $50,000 per year
Flood insurance or relief fund be-come mandatory for state govern-ment
Burden on Society

Solution:
Implement policies and measures to achieve carbon reduction.
![Page 27: Emergence of Carbon Labeling: Why all the trouble?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815fd3550346895dced4c3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Steady reduction in carbon emission need to be made

It can get much worse if we don’t take action

“The transition to a low-carbon, inclu-sive green economy is happening far too slowly and the opportunity for meet-ing [scientific advice on emissions tar-gets] is narrowing annually,”
- Achim Steiner, executive director of UNEP.
Change is happening but happening too slowly
Carbon labeling can accelerate the transition.
