Given the scale of the greenhouse gas emissions reductions that are seen as necessary to avert the worst effects of climate change, policy action is likely to result in a complete reshaping of the world economy. The consequences are not confined to ‘obvious’ sectors such as power generation and transport; virtually every company's activities, business models and strategies will need to be completely rethought. In addition, beyond their core business activities, companies have the potential to make important contributions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the allocation of capital, through innovation and the development of new technologies, and through their influence on the actions taken by governments on climate change.Corporate Responses to Climate Change is a state-of-the-art analysis of corporate action on climate change, aimed at those interested in how the business sector is and should be dealing with the most serious environmental threat faced by our planet.
Climate change is increasingly recognised as a business risk (as a consequence of, for example, the physical impacts of changing weather patterns and government regulations directed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions) and also as presenting business opportunities (e.g. the development of new investment and insurance products). As a result, there is increased interest in corporate climate change disclosures with a range of actors – investors, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the media, customers – requesting information on how companies are responding to the risks and opportunities presented by climate change. Yet, while there is a growing consensus that companies should report more, it is less clear what specific information is required and how this information will be used.
