Producing bitcoin currency could void climate change efforts

October 31, 2018 EcoVadis


Producing bitcoin at a pace with growing demand could by 2033 defeat the aim of limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius, according to U.S. research published in the journal Nature Climate Change. 


EcoVadis's insight:

Climate change is almost certainly man-made, as reiterated by the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Most companies still do not see climate change as relevant to their business and rarely publish climate change scenarios. Publishing more data on climate change and analyze the ways companies address it in their supply chains is vital.
