The transition to a low-carbon economy can cause policy changes and shifts in market preferences, standards, and technologies, which in turn may result in changes to cost structures or the commercial opportunities of biomass and change the competitiveness of products, raw materials, industries, and countries. The physical impacts of climate change include more frequent and severe extreme weather conditions, which can increase droughts, floods and forest fires and cause uncertainties in business operations or damage UPM's or suppliers' production assets. Damage caused by insects and tree diseases can become increasingly common.
Management: Long-term targets and science-based measures to mitigate global warming through sustainable forestry, emissions reductions and innovating novel products. Enhancing biodiversity.
Opportunity: Transition opportunities include those driven by resource efficiency and the development of new technologies, CO2 -free electricity, products and services that could bring new markets, customers, sources of funding and competitive advantage for us. Longer forest growing season in northern hemisphere.
