What is climate change?
Climate change is defined as a change in climate patterns attributable, directly or indirectly, to human activity. Greenhouse gases build up in the atmosphere and trap heat, increasing the greenhouse effect and raising the overall temperature of the planet.
Climate change is superimposed on the natural variability observable over equivalent periods of time, and also affects other changes in earth systems (melting ice, rising sea levels, etc.).
We fight against climate change
The electricity sector plays a key role in achieving the goal set by the historic Paris Agreement to limit the increase in global temperature to 1.5 ºC and to tackle the climate emergency. Our goal is to join the global leaders in the fight against climate change -goal 13 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
At CES, we are highly committed to continuing to lead the way towards a zero-emission future, having set ourselves the goal of achieving emissions neutrality in our generation, electricity distribution and Bermuda’s own energy consumption.
