TAILIEUCHUNG - ASSESSING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION: PRIORITY PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS

The report also identifies water-related risks for electric power/energy, apparel, biotechnology/pharmaceutical, forest products and metals/mining firms. For companies in these and other sectors, climate change will further reduce the availability of reliable and high quality water, impacting productivity, costs, revenues, public goodwill and reputation. The report highlights the intensifying conflict between energy use and water availability. With increasing frequency, choosing one of these resources means undermining the other – the other, usually being water. For example, the billions of dollars spent to expand oil sands development in Canada and corn-based ethanol production in the . has incrementally increased fuel supplies, but. | Unit Priority Products and Materials Acknowledgements Editor International Panel for Sustainable Resource Management Working Group on the Environmental Impacts of Products and Materials Prioritization and Improvement Options Lead authors Edgar G.
