Opportunities reported • Competitive advantage for firms ready to comply with tougher product regulations and energy efficiency standards.


• Increased demand for products meeting consumer demands for sustainability, including fish (low emissions compared with agricultural protein).


• Improved conditions for fish farming and new plant varieties owing to higher temperatures.


Risks reported • Compliance costs from product, packaging and labelling regulations, including carbon footprinting.


• Reputational risks for firms that fail to adapt to consumer awareness of climate change. Vulnerability to criticism by journalists and NGOs.


• Indirect risk of higher transport and distribution costs due to emissions taxes and regulation. Supermarkets may face taxes on HFC gases for refrigeration.

42 ‘The carbon footprint of


fish (2.9 kg CO2/kg) is half that of pork (5.9 kg


CO2/kg), and one tenth of that of beef (30 kg CO2/ kg), measured as kg


CO2e per kg edible part at slaughter. Substituting


other meats with fish will therefore contribute to a lower carbon footprint per person.’
