In each document the inevitablilty of climate change is a given, a proven expectation, something that needs to be mitigated.
Most of the S&P 500 Corporations for another:
The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) surveys the S&P 500 corporations every year on numerous topics including climate change. Over 80% of the Standard and Poor 500 corporations have officially integraged climate change into their risk management strategies, and over 70% have merged planning for climate change into their regular business strategy.
"
Climate change has been further integrated into
enterprise risk management (83% (281) in 2012 versus
75% (254) in 2011) and overall business strategy (73%
(247) in 2012 versus 65% (219) in 2011)." 1
