What Managers, Executives, and Students Need to Know
As managers around the world confront and educate themselves about how climate change is affecting their businesses, A Concise Business Guide to Climate Change provides a single, short, and accessible account of the information crucial to understanding and addressing these new challenges. What causes climate change? How do countries and companies measure their climate impact? What is the role of carbon markets? How are governments responding? What kind of corporate emissions targets make sense, and how can they be achieved? This book presents the basic scientific, economic, policy, and accounting frameworks that managers need to answer these questions.
From the Introduction:
“Climate change is a big problem. It will require ingenuity, and that we shepherd scarce resources… Yet the most valuable and potentially scarcest resource through this transition is likely to be effective and thoughtful leadership. Sector by sector, we face the kind of transformation that will challenge the mettle and vision of our global managerial class. This book is intended to support these leaders as they begin their decarbonization journey.”
