Texts: You are an independent consultant hired to look at future risk issues by a mythical Top 300-500 ASX listed company (kr.com.au). You are concerned that the company is not taking climate change seriously, so the Board of Directors has asked you to present a Report on Climate Change. The particular issues that the Board requires you to specifically consider and answer are:
1. What is climate change?
2. Should the company be concerned about climate change as a current or future risk?
3. What skills, given your accounting background, do you believe you have that will convince the Directors about the company's response to climate change?
4. What, if any, requirements or recommendations currently apply to the company having a public statement on sustainability issues such as climate change?
5. What framework would you recommend the company should consider?
6. What requirements are expected to apply in the future on sustainability for the company?
