Carbon Governance, Climate Change and Business Transformation

This book examines the intersection of carbon governance and business transformation, highlighting necessary policy shifts for a sustainable future. Carbon Governance, Climate Change and Business Transformation offers valuable insights.

Transformation to a low carbon economy is essential for addressing the complex challenges posed by climate change and energy security. Despite advancements in policy and clean technology, substantial business transformation remains elusive due to various political, economic, social, and organizational obstacles. This book delves into these issues, offering insights into how to overcome them for a sustainable future.

Carbon Governance, Climate Change and Business Transformation is grounded in contributions from leading academics and industry experts, as well as findings from three international workshops focused on low carbon transformation in key climate policy regions: Canada, the USA, and the UK. The insights gathered from this collaborative network aim to identify the necessary policy combinations that can drive transformative change in how businesses operate in relation to climate challenges.

The book explores critical questions surrounding the conceptualization of climate change by governments and the private sector, the essential conditions for genuine business transformation, and the key innovations needed in both policy and business practices. By applying emerging theories of multi-level, multi-actor carbon governance, this work provides both academic discourse and practical business models aimed at facilitating low carbon transformation in the real world.
