Cognicert Urges Faster Climate, Water and Deforestation Action

EntSun News/11097507
EAST LONDON, U.K. - EntSun -- Cognicert has sharpened the focus of its Sustainability and Environment category as governments, regulators, investors, and supply-chain leaders face growing pressure to respond to climate risk, water stress, biodiversity loss, and deforestation compliance with practical, measurable action. Cognicert's portfolio includes training in EUDR compliance, lifecycle assessment, water efficiency, water footprint, circular economy, and sustainable mine closure, aligning the organisation with environmental issues that are rapidly moving from policy discussion into implementation.

The urgency is reinforced by current meteorological data. The World Meteorological Organization reports that 2015–2025 were the hottest 11 years on record, that 2025 was about 1.43°C above the 1850–1900 average, and that Earth's energy imbalance is now at its highest level in a 65-year record. Copernicus also reported that March 2026 was Europe's second-warmest March, with average European land temperature reaching 5.88°C, or 2.27°C above the 1991–2020 average.

In the United Kingdom, the Met Office said 2025 was the UK's warmest and sunniest year on record, with a mean temperature of 10.09°C and 1,648.5 hours of sunshine. It also stated that human-caused climate change made that record-breaking annual temperature about 260 times more likely. Weather extremes have continued, with southern England recording its seventh wettest winter so far at 336.1 mm of rainfall. WMO also reported severe storms and floods across Europe, while flooding in Mozambique affected at least 650,000 people, highlighting the humanitarian, economic, and governance risks linked to climate volatility.

Governments are responding with stronger policy and finance signals. EU climate advisers warn that weather and climate extremes now cause about €45 billion annually in damage to European infrastructure and buildings. The European Commission says the EUDR will apply from 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators and from 30 June 2027 for micro and small operators. In Brazil, banks are now required to check satellite-based government deforestation data before approving certain rural loans, further linking environmental performance to access to finance.

John Aderibigbe, Business Development Director, said:

"The sustainability conversation has changed. Governments are no longer responding only to long-term climate forecasts; they are responding to measurable heat records, flood risk, water stress, biodiversity threats, deforestation controls, and the financial consequences of inaction. Organisations now need professionals who can translate climate data, environmental risk, and regulatory pressure into implementation, assurance, and credible reporting. That is where Cognicert is focusing its Sustainability and Environment training."
