Sample Essay

In the wake of the climate crisis rearing its ugly head over the last decade, there has been a growing call globally for climate change mitigation. People are divided over whether measures implemented for this will have a negative impact on private concerns or will be a chance for the companies to grow.

Deliberating over the possible ramifications first, it is obvious that since climate change initiatives involve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, businesses, especially manufacturing units, will take a hit as they try to meet the reduced emission standards. As governments across the globe, working on combatting climate change, have adopted net-zero carbon targets, the rules that will be implemented will render many products from petrol and diesel cars to single-use plastic straws and bottles obsolete.

However, the opportunities that have opened up as a result of climate change reforms are tremendous which many companies have already seized. One example is the surge in interest in electric vehicles in the light of needing to meet the strict emission guidelines to battle climate change, an opportunity which many tech giants such as Tesla have already taken advantage of. Moreover, embracing eco-friendly technology and clean energy, such as solar energy, can not only reduce the carbon footprint of businesses but also bring down the running costs of businesses in the long run. Another possibility of advancement for companies comes from the groundswell of support by the general public favouring eco-friendly products, thereby making going green the next big opportunity.

Finally, I believe that although the measures to ameliorate climate change may have short-term adverse impacts, in the long run, they will present many golden opportunities for companies--small firms or big conglomerates. After all, innovating and walking the untrodden path can lead to new market opportunities.
