气象专家John Morales在直播中形容米尔顿为“非常可怕”且“令人难以置信的飓风”
“在气象学的赌局里，一切都是未定。”气象学专家Ben Cooke说道。众所周知气候变化切实存在，但下一次它将如何出现、在哪里出现，对此我们基本上一无所知。
不过，有一点可以肯定：人类生活所产生的碳排放量越多，气候问题将会愈发严重。因此，减少排放的核心是认识到减排的最大趋势，以此指引员工教育、跟踪和报告，最终制定可行的政策。
CWT和GBTA联合发布的报告《2040：标准、繁荣或萧条》探讨了在科技进步、可持续发展要求和人口结构变化的共同推动下，未来商务旅行和活动的三种可能场景。根据该报告的预测，环境变化将会直接影响差旅用户的决策，进而推动企业决策。未来，可持续发展目标将成为企业政策的新核心。
以下我们总结了激励差旅减碳的三个行动方向：

来自各方面的监管压力正在迅速增加。2024年CSRD法规要求，CSRD涵盖范围内的欧盟实体均需要按照欧盟可持续发展报告标准（ESRS）的规定，对包括商务旅行在内的第三类排放量进行报告。未来，类似CSRD的法规可能会在全球范围发布。
如今，许多企业都会对环境影响进行评估。未来的评分方法可能会有新的变化，考虑到新旧机型与航线的效率区分，这可能会促使航空公司重新思考传统的轮辐模式。
面对破纪录的天气事件，商务旅行者可以通过改变差旅时间和方式来应对。25%的商务旅行者会因为缺乏可持续性选择而拒绝商务旅行（SAP Concur），部分商务旅行者则倾向于缩短停留时间、减少旅行次数、或分批出行。到2040年，航空旅行的碳排放税、更严格的法规和强制性碳排放报告可能会促使商务旅行者在出行频率、地点以及如何混合个人和差旅出行方面发生重大变革。企业决策者需要更多地使用实时数据和跟踪，并利用人工智能为减排战略提供信息。

Climate physics is a gamble. Here are 3 strong bets in the bid to decarbonize travel
"Nothing is certain in the casino of climate physics," says climate writer Ben Cooke. We know that climate change is here but how and where will it manifest next and what can we do to stem it?
One thing is certain. The more carbon we pump into the atmosphere, the more climate change will worsen. Central, therefore, to reducing emissions is an awareness of the biggest trends to reduce them and using it to guide employee education, tracking and reporting and ultimately, policy.
CWT and GBTA report, 2040: Baseline, Boom or Bust explores three potential scenarios for the future of business travel and events driven by a convergence of technological advancements, evolving sustainability requirements and changing demographics. As environmental impact drives consumer decision-making, and in turn corporate decision-making, sustainability goals will be the new crux of corporate policy, the supplement predicts.
Here are three trends to spur action.
"It will be second nature by 2040 to consider environmental cost alongside financial cost, and for many people, it will be a much bigger driver," says Mark Corbett, CEO of emissions reporting and reduction firm Thrust Carbon.
Sustainable aviation fuel, or alternative aviation fuel is a type of jet fuel derived from a range of feedstocks including bio-fuels, waste oils and synthetic fuels designed to lower emissions, reduce waste and, in some cases, blend with conventional jet fuel using existing infrastructure. It’s rapidly gaining traction. Passengers and organizations want to know that the airlines they choose align with their values. As such, major airlines have begun incorporating SAFs into their operations.
Tip: Consider building relationships with airlines that are invested in alternative fuel use and use your purchasing power to access sustainable aviation fuel.
Regulatory pressure is increasing rapidly. 2024 CSRD regulations now require EU entities to report scope 3 emissions including business travel. Regulations and directives like this are likely to increase globally.
Today, many businesses assign environmental impact scores. Future scoring methods could evolve, taking into account the efficiency of new jets vs. older models and routes which could prompt airlines to rethink traditional hub-and-spoke models.
Tip: Use data and reporting solutions that help you track your carbon emissions from travel in real-time and find avenues to shrink your carbon footprint.
Business travelers have responded to news of record-breaking weather events by changing when and how they travel. 25% of business travelers are willing to refuse a business trip due to a lack of sustainable options (SAP Concur) and some are focusing on longer stays with fewer trips, or trip batching. By 2040, carbon taxes on air travel, stricter regulations and mandatory emissions reporting could spur major evolutions in how often we travel, where we travel and how we blend trips, both personal and for business. Business leaders will need to increasingly use real-time data and tracking and leverage artificial intelligence to inform reduction strategies.
Tip: Empower travelers to cut their emissions via travel policy, online booking tool features and carbon budgeting. There are many ways to impact policy ranging from evaluating the necessity of same-day trips, to encouraging trip-batching and direct flights, and making more responsible decisions at the point-of-sale.
