The ECIIA’s Risk in Focus 2023 Survey reported that Climate change and environmental sustainability is seen as a top three risk by as much as 37% of CAEs. This is up by two places from last year's survey (2022). In the space of three years this topic has gone from a talking point to a principal item on risk maps and corporate risk registers. No other risk area has shown a bigger year-on-year increase and this is a continuation of a trend: in 2020 a mere 14% of chief auditors put climate change among their top five risks. It's now time to act. But environmental sustainability is just one element that ESG covers!
