Description

Definition and Scope:

In recent years, due to the increase of greenhouse gases, the process of global warming and climate change has accelerated. Global climate change mainly reflects three characteristics: First, the increase in global temperature may lead to more extreme high temperature weather. Second, due to rising global temperatures, thermal expansion of oceans, melting of polar ice caps, and melting of mountain glaciers, the global average sea level is on the rise. Finally, global precipitation patterns will also change, and there may be more and stronger extreme precipitation or extreme drought in the future.

The consequences of failing to effectively address climate change are seen as one of the greatest threats facing humanity. According to the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report 2022, climate-related risks are listed as the three most serious risks threatening humanity in the next decade, while climate action failure is seen as the medium- and long-term threat with the greatest impact. Climate change is also having a major impact on business. Businesses need to act as soon as possible to mitigate climate change and reduce carbon emissions. Jobs are expected to continue to increase in the coming years as the global economy gradually shifts to a low-carbon model. As pointed out in the ""2021 CEO Outlook"" report released by KPMG, nearly 30% of CEOs indicated that they plan to invest more than 10% of operating income in sustainable development projects in order to deal with related climate change risks.

Climate change is a complex multi-stakeholder issue involving portfolio strategy, operations, product design, marketing, investor relations and more. Adapting to global warming requires business leaders to take steps to reduce risk and spur innovation. Tackling climate change may be challenging, but it also presents opportunities for growth; as the energy transition accelerates, the complexity and opportunities are sure to increase.

Despite the weak regulatory environment at the federal level in both the U.S. and Canada, there is growing demand for helping executives understand how to mitigate climate change at a profit. This demand comes from local regulation, such as California's cap and trade program's Oregntar phasing out coal-fired power plants, and other drivers such as the desire to increase efficiencies or the need to meet increasingly stringent supplier requirements, such as those from Walmart.

The global Climate Change Consulting market was valued at USD 6124.44 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 10606.26 million by the end of 2028, growing at a CAGR of 8.07% between 2022 and 2028. Policies and regulations are the growth drivers for the Climate Change Consulting Market key drivers. Governments across the globe are proposing various initiatives to mitigate the aftermath of climate conditions. For example, in light of climate change, the Canadian government has taken many practical actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (CHG) from vehicles, manufacturing and industrial units. The Chinese government has proposed important strategic goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Political factors have significantly driven the demand for Climate Change Consulting services.

Increasing demand from governments, industries, and organizations will be another important driver for the growth of the climate change consulting market. The demand for climate change consulting is increasing significantly across the globe owing to the growing focus of companies and governments on sustainable development, the development of smart cities, and the increase in government regulation and cooperation in environmental protection. Climate change consulting services provided by vendors primarily provide organizations and governments with advice, assistance, and action plans to control climate change. Climate change impacts in North America are projected to become increasingly severe. As a result, the U.S. government, industry, and organizations are engaging with consulting firms that offer solutions to reduce the impact of climate change. On the other hand, many organizations in the European region are adopting various climate change solutions. These organizations turn to consulting firms for solutions, and as a result, various consulting firms are providing sustainable solutions to climate change impacts.

In addition, factors such as the increase in energy consumption and carbon emissions, the promotion of green building initiatives, the rapid deployment of renewable energy, the advancement of carbon emission reduction technologies in the automotive industry, and new climate change models will drive the development of the climate change consulting market.

Segment by Type, the Climate Change Consulting can be split into Carbon Footprint Analysis, Renewable Energy Development, etc. The Carbon Footprint Analysis type currently holds the highest market share and will already reach 15.91% in 2021. Rising carbon emissions due to increasing energy consumption will drive the growth of the global climate change consulting market over the forecast period. These factors lead governments and industry to seek climate change advice such as carbon footprint management. The TCFD type will grow at the highest CAGR of 9.07% during the forecast period 2022-2028.

In terms of application scenarios, the climate change consulting market can be divided into Mining, Energy & Utilities, Government, Manufacturing, Transportation and Logistics, Others. Currently, the Manufacturing segment dominates the entire market and holds the highest market share of over 30%. Such a trend will continue during the forecast period.

On basis of geography, the Climate Change Consulting market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa, etc. North America is projected to account for the largest market share of the global climate change consulting market during the forecast period. Significant climate change has been observed in the United States. These changes include rising sea levels, higher air and water temperatures, increased frequency and intensity of downpours, fewer frost days, and decreases in snow, permafrost, glaciers, and sea ice. Climate change impacts in North America are projected to become increasingly severe. As a result, the U.S. government, industry, and organizations are engaging with consulting firms that offer solutions to reduce the impact of climate change. Hence, the climate change consulting market in North America is expected to witness significant growth. In 2021, North America will have a market share of 37.17%, the highest among all regions.

At present, the concentration of the climate change consulting market is very low, and manufacturers in the entire market are in fierce competition. In 2021, the indicators CR5 and HHI used to measure market concentration will be 35.13% and 2.49% respectively, which shows a low level of market concentration. But predicting the future, the concentration of the market will increase. The climate change consulting market is witnessing significant investments. For example, in March 2021, sustainability consultancy Anthesis received a minority investment from Palatine Private Equity, which the firm intends to use to accelerate its mission to help mitigate the worst effects of global climate change. Key players in the market include McKinsey & Company, KPMG International, Deloitte LLP, Ernst & Young, WSP & Golder, Jacobs Engineering Group, Boston Consulting Group, Accenture, ERM Group, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), Ramboll Environ, ICF International, PA Consulting Group, Bain & Company, A.T.
