About this book
The pressure on the private sector to act on climate change is immense – and many organizations are rising to the challenge. Yet, many companies are struggling to get their climate programs off the ground. To be successful, companies need to integrate climate considerations into the very DNA of their organizations.
This book provides the definitive blueprint for this urgent transformation. It is an actionable, step-by-step guide for business practitioners on how to develop and implement a comprehensive climate-readiness strategy. Readers will discover how to assess and manage the risks of climate change for their companies, spot and capitalize on new business opportunities linked to tackling – or adapting to – climate change, collaborate effectively with stakeholders, navigate upcoming regulations, build company-wide support for climate initiatives, and use these experiences to prepare for future challenges faster than competitors.
This book will be of value to executives, board members, and employees at companies of all sizes, corporate sustainability officers, and all business professionals, policymakers, political activists, entrepreneurs, and intellectuals who believe in the power of business to help society respond to climate change.
