An Introduction to Climate Change and Human Rights

/

Are you familiar with the “intersection of human rights and climate change? Rather than treating “human rights” and “climate change” as separate issues, this field focuses on the impacts of climate change on people, and how they respond to it. Much of the literature on this topic discusses climate change and human rights as separate issues to be addressed – two sides of the same coin where either one or the other must be considered – but we at Codo Advisory believe it is critical to jointly consider both aspects in development planning.

The Environmental Impact of AI: Positive or Negative?

In 2023, 30.5 billion digital devices were used by 5.35 billion people — an average of around six devices per person.

But as AI’s influence grows, so does its environmental footprint — raising an essential question: is AI’s overall impact on the planet positive or negative?

Understanding Locked-In Emissions : Is your investment at risk of a carbon lock-in?

/

When we think of solving climate change issues, we often focus on the emissions currently being produced. A carbon inventory or GHG emissions report can only detail the previous year(s)’ emissions. However, a significant portion of future emissions, however, is also already “locked-in” due to existing infrastructure, policies, and commitments. Understanding these locked-in emissions is critical if we are to effectively combat climate change. But what exactly are locked-in emissions, and why should we be concerned about them?
