BOSTON, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Confidence in the world's ability to achieve net zero by 2050 looks to be eroding as it becomes even more difficult to ensure adequate investment returns and progress diverges across a fragmenting world. Bain & Company's fourth annual Energy & Natural Resource Executive Survey shows an increasing percentage of industry executives expect the world to reach net zero by 2060 or later—with 62% sharing this sentiment in 2024 versus 54% in 2023.

  • Despite energy and natural resource companies' continued investments in decarbonization, about 62% of executives now anticipate the world will reach net zero by 2060 or later, up from 54% in last year's survey.

But many people across the country still lack awareness about the risks they face and the steps they can take to prepare for them.

Key Points: 
  • But many people across the country still lack awareness about the risks they face and the steps they can take to prepare for them.
  • The summer of 2023 has been marked by record-breaking wildfires, floods and heat waves across Canada.
  • Recent research shows that Canadians’ awareness and preparedness for natural hazard disasters is consistently low and unevenly distributed among different segments of the population.

Inclusive resilience

    • We are researchers with the Inclusive Resilience project led by the Canadian Red Cross.
    • The project’s goals are to identify the most effective means to increase awareness of hazards and to promote practical tools and actions that foster inclusive resilience among five at-risk groups: women, older adults, people with low income, Indigenous Peoples and newcomers to Canada.
    • Inclusive resilience is an approach that ensures all people have an opportunity to make meaningful contributions to decision-making, planning and response efforts to natural hazard risks.

Need for varied disaster preparedness

    • Participants reflected on their knowledge of and opinions about natural hazards; shared feedback on educational materials on natural hazards preparedness; and explained the challenges they face in protecting their families and communities from these hazards.
    • Across all demographic groups, awareness of and preparedness for natural hazards were generally low.
    • Additionally, newcomers also expressed a lack of awareness, how to prepare and who to turn to for information as their top barriers to preparedness.

Clear and tailored resources

    • The ability for demographics and place to unify people’s attitudes about natural hazards indicates that communications, programs and resources need to be tailored to local contexts.
    • Participants in our study expressed a desire for varied disaster preparedness advice, such as strategies for tenants and tailored resources for apartments and highrises, as opposed to single-family homes.
    • Bringing together people who already know each other further strengthens those connections and boosts motivation to continue building momentum for preparedness as a community.
