  Hello, Please see below are the examples of different Risk Responses. I have also added few sample examples at the bottom of this post 1. Accept (Risk Acceptance) 1. IT System Downtime: An IT company decides to accept the risk of minor system downtime during off-peak hours because the cost of achieving 100% uptime would be prohibitively expensive. 2. Currency Fluctuation: A multinational corporation accepts the risk of exchange rate fluctuations for its overseas sales, deeming the potential losses manageable. 3.

  Question based on Chapter 01 Question #1:   Questions asked by  LinkedIn community  member Ashvini Mei Xi What is BECCS? Answer: Let me explain. For the sake of simplifying, let us break the word into 3 parts: BECCS = B (bio) + E (energy) + CCS (carbon capture & storage) Let me consider each of the sub-part and explain them: 1) "B" (bio) means natural (Biological system) sinks like Trees which absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the same in them/sequestrate. 2) These biological systems (trees) can be later burnt to derive "E" (energy) in form of heat. However, when they are burnt they release carbon dioxide that was earlier stored in them. In other words, carbon dioxide is released from the trees when they are burnt. 3) In order to avoid the released carbon dioxide (emissions) going back to the atmosphere, we capture them using "CCS". This way, we remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, stored them in trees (biological systems) ,

Green taxonomy and Greenwashing Green taxonomies might be more suited for public policy and fiscal decisions but face challenges in tackling green-washing in financial markets. This is explained below. 1. Public Policy and Fiscal Decisions: Green taxonomies provide a structured framework to classify economic activities based on their environmental impact. This framework can be very useful for public policy and fiscal decisions for several reasons: Policy Alignment : Governments can use green taxonomies to align public spending, subsidies, and incentives with environmental goals, ensuring that public funds support genuinely sustainable activities Standardization: Taxonomies offer a standardized approach for identifying and promoting green projects, making it easier to implement and monitor policy measures.
