Global Talk - Can Business Save the Climate?

November 7, 2017

The climate is under threat and business has played its part in harming the environment and thereby the livelihoods of many people on our planet. But can it also bring us back on track to save the climate? What can business do, where should companies start and how willing is the business world to change or even reverse previous behavior? And is there a profit in it?
