- 8. The Negative Impactsof Climate Change on Culture, Cultural Heritage and Cultural Rights Impacts on cultural practices: Loss of Stability • Indigenous peoples inhabit the most fragile ecosystems on the planet, such as: tropical humid forests, deserts, tundras, mountains and islands, among others, constituting the most vulnerable groups against the effects of global warming. • Additionally, it was found that the increase in diseases was associated with an increase in the environmental temperature (malaria, dengue, yellow fever).” (Implicaciones Ambientales y Culturales del Cambio Climatico, los Pueblos Indígenas, p. 19) • Destabilizing impacts of climate change can include potential disruption of food chains, travel, and energy sources, whether sudden or gradual.
- 9. The Negative Impactsof Climate Change on Culture, Cultural Heritage and Cultural Rights Impacts on cultural practices: Destruction of Resources, Both Built and Natural • World Heritage cultural sites are also exposed to this threat. Ancient buildings were designed for a specific local climate. The migration of pests can have adverse impacts on the conservation of built heritage. • But aside from these physical threats, climate change will impact on social and cultural aspects, with communities changing the way they live, work, worship and socialize in buildings, sites and landscapes, possibly migrating and abandoning their built heritage. Increasing sea level threatens many coastal sites.
- 10. Displacement • For indigenouscommunities, climate change can result in loss of cultural identity through loss of place and ways of life. • For many indigenous communities, culture and cultural identity are emergent from landscape and based on relationships of reciprocity with animals, plants, fungi, and ecosystems (Anderson 2005, Whyte 2013, Wildcat 2009). • The loss of place results in the loss of both ways of life and right to collective self-determination and cultural identity. The Negative Impacts of Climate Change on Culture, Cultural Heritage and Cultural Rights Impacts on cultural practices:
- 11. The Negative Impactsof Climate Change on Culture, Cultural Heritage and Cultural Rights Impacts on cultural practices: Threatened Local/Traditional Knowledge and Practices • In Alaska, permafrost melting is making it more difficult for hunters to access traditional hunting grounds and is changing the migration patterns of certain species. • In the Southwest, the influx of invasive species and prolonged drought are disrupting subsistence practices. • These impacts threaten traditional knowledges, food security, water availability, historical homelands, and territorial existence, and may undermine indigenous ways of life that have persisted and adapted for thousands of years
- 12. Climate Change andSupply Chain Impacts Declining Supplies • Extreme weather events could reduce global supplies even faster. • New York’s registered lobster landings decreased by 97.7% between 1996 and 2014, thanks to warmer oceans. • Droughts have hampered agricultural production, with products like rice and coffee seeing dramatically smaller harvests. • Hurricanes, flooding, and similar events will have a similar effect on oceanic and seaside industries.
- 13. Climate Change andSupply Chain Impacts Workplace Disruptions • Climate change also poses a threat to the workplaces that sustain global supply chains. • Every increase of 1° Celsius could reduce worker productivity by 1-3% for those outside or without air conditioning; could add up to the equivalent of 80 million job losses by 2030. That would result in global losses of $2.4 trillion • Rising sea levels and extreme weather would also displace many workers, making it difficult for some warehouses and other facilities to maintain adequate staffing levels.
- 14. Climate Change andSupply Chain Impacts Transportation Risks • Transporting parts and products across the world will become an increasingly challenging and even dangerous task. • Flooding will make ground transportation impossible in some areas until the waters subside and emergency responders clear the damage. Hurricanes and other storms will delay or reroute flights. • These delays will ripple throughout the supply chain and the industries that rely on it. Manufacturers will have to slow production in light of part shortages.
- 15. Climate Change andSupply Chain Impacts Rising Costs • Supply shortages will have an impact on costs. The price of coffee futures nearly doubled in July 2021 as record droughts struck Brazil. Similar price hikes could affect the cost of items supply chain organizations need, like trucks, equipment parts, and fuel. • As extreme weather displaces employees, staffing costs may rise as well. Supply chains may have to offer higher wages to entice workers to remain in the area or move, raising their ongoing expenses.

Climate-resilient Supply Chains GovernmentPolicy: Set the example and report (issue CAP) Start small: Begin with a selection of facilities, locations, or products that represent important aspects of your operations. This will allow you to identify the most useful and important data points before scaling your approach across the organization. Integrate into existing systems: Rather than approaching climate risk and resilience as a new, standalone exercise, consider integrating climate considerations into existing risk management and/or sustainability systems. Appreciate both the global and the local: Climate risk and building resilience is both a global and intensely local challenge. While some tenets and approaches can be broadly applied, individual interventions must be customized and reflect on-the- ground realities. Diversity and Inclusion is a must (NAC)!

To build amore resilient, beneficial growth model for people we must accelerate structural transformation in five key economic sectors: • Clean energy systems o Decarbonization of the energy system coupled with decentralized, digitized electrification technologies could give a billion more people access to modern energy services. • Smarter urban developments o More compact, connected and coordinated cities would save US $ 17 billion by 2050 and stimulate economic growth by improving access to work and housing. • Sustainable land use o A switch to more sustainable farming methods combined with strict forestry protection could generate economic benefits of around 2 billion dollars per year. • Smart water management o In areas with a water shortage, GNP could fall by up to 6% in 2050. This could be prevented by making more efficient use of water through technological improvements and investment in public infrastructure. • Circular industrial economy o Today, 95% of the value of the material from plastic packaging - up to 120 billion dollars a year - is lost after the first use. Policies that encourage more circular and efficient use of materials could improve global economic activity and reduce waste and pollution. Closing Thoughts 1
- 44. The Global Commissionon the Economy and Climate is urging public and private sector leaders to take these urgent measures in the next two or three years: • put a price on carbon and force companies to disclose climate-related financial risks, speed up investment in sustainable infrastructure, harness the power of the private sector, boosting innovation and increasing the transparency of the value chain, and adopt a people-centric focus to ensure equitable growth and a fair transition. The United Nations Organization (UNO) says that it is not too late to turn around climate change and minimize its terrible effects. The truth is that humankind has the organizational and technological capacity to counteract and solve all the problems and damage we have done to the planet, and repair the harm caused to nature.
