Climate change, growing public alarm, and the accelerating response of governments and regulators will have increasingly dramatic effects on the economy and on society in the years ahead. As the world moves away from carbon, these dramatic changes will have deep implications for business, investors, governments and other organisational actors, affecting markets and asset values.
You can’t manage what you don’t understand, and good decisions require more than mountains of data and information.
