Climate Change Education: Preparing Future & Current Business Leaders

Climate Change Education: Preparing Future and Current Business Leaders: A Workshop Summary (2014)

A useful resource for those interested in educating the business community in climate preparedness and challenges. 

"Climate change poses challenges as well as opportunities for businesses and, broadly speaking for the entire economy. Businesses will be challenged to provide services or products with less harmful influence on the climate; respond to a changing policy, regulatory, and market environment; and provide new services and products to help address the challenges of a changing climate. Many businesses are beginning to see climate change as another context within which they need to consider their core functions of strategy, finance, operations, marketing, and their regulatory environments, a context that poses both risks and opportunities."
