As climate costs mount, businesses talking more about spending to adapt: report
TORONTO – Work on climate change has largely focused on preventing it from getting worse, but as a new RBC report points out, businesses are also starting to think more about potential spending on adaptation and preparation as the costs of disasters pile up. The report says that extreme weather and natural disaster costs already totalled US$368 billion last year, 14 per cent above the long-term average since 2000, and that this year could match or exceed the total. The costs are leading to more attention in boardrooms, with the report noting mentions of climate change on the rise and hitting new peaks in both U.S. and Asia, though in Canada talk has dropped in recent months. RBC says companies in industries like utilities, insurance and industrial services have been talking more about the financial risks, but also about the potential tailwinds as they're set to benefit from rising demand for their products and services that help in adaptation and resilience. The report says that so far it's still a challenge to finance bigger, longer-term adaptation efforts, which can include measures like burying power lines and building floodways, but that a study out this year found that every $1 invested in adaptation and resilience generates more than $10 in benefits over a decade. The RBC report focused on U.S. companies that could benefit from the trend, but notes that Canadian companies including Nutrien, MDA Space Ltd., and some in the waste management and engineering sectors could also see increased demand.

Canadian company suspends operations after African mine death
The decision followed a fatal accident at a pit in Zambia, First Quantum Minerals has reported Canadian firm First Quantum Minerals has temporarily suspended operations at one of its Trident mines in Zambia following the death of an employee in a dump truck accident. The incident occurred at a pit at the Sentinel copper mine, located 150km west of Solwezi in the northwestern province of the southern African country, the mining company said in a statement on Monday. The "operations in the area of the accident have been temporarily suspended and will resume once it is determined that it can be done in a safe manner," it stated. The company said it had notified local authorities about the "tragic loss" and that an internal investigation is currently underway. First Quantum is a major player in Zambia's copper-rich northwestern province, where it operates two major mines - the Kansanshi mine and the Sentinel mine, as part of its larger Trident project. Its operations, have, however, been marred by several fatal accidents in recent years, including a 2023 dump truck collision at Sentinel and multiple contractor deaths at Kansanshi. Last September, the Toronto-based miner reported that a collision between a tracked dozer and a light vehicle had killed one of its employees. In November the previous year, two contractors at its Zambian operations died in separate incidents. READ MORE: African state strips French nuclear giant of uranium mine The latest incident comes at a time when countries in Africa have revoked the licenses of major Western mining firms over a series of grievances, including alleged unpaid taxes. Last Thursday, Niger's military government announced plans to nationalize Somair uranium, a local venture operated by the French state-owned nuclear company Orano since 1971, amid an escalating dispute between the miners and the West African nation. Governments in neighboring Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Mali have also moved to review mining contracts in recent months, seeking to boost revenue from their extractive industries. Earlier last Monday, Mali temporarilystrippedCanadian firm Barrick of control over the country's largest gold mining operations, citing alleged unpaid taxes and royalties. In 2023, First Quantum lost control of its flagship Panama copper mine after the country's Supreme Court nullified its contract and the maritime authority blocked export permits.
