This volume explores the meaning of the Paris Climate Agreement 2015 for business; it analyses its challenges and implications, and establishes required actions by the private sector in order to reduce global warming and mitigating climate change effects. We bring together evidence-based, conceptual and theoretical contributions from a diverse set of geographical locations, and disciplinary backgrounds on the meanings, implications, opportunities and challenges for business around the planet in relation to climate change.
This work unites international contributors in risk management, law, human resources, finance, international business, economics, and industrial engineering. They consider the business implications of the Paris Climate Agreement 2015 and what it requires of the private sector. Each of the book’s 11 chapters includes an abstract outlining the purpose, methodology, approach, findings, and research and practical implications of the research described in the chapter. Some topics explored are climate change in the hospitality and tourism industry in developing countries, market-based regulation of greenhouse gases, climate change and animal health risk, disaster risk management and climate change, the impact of climate change on Kenya’s public listed companies, dams in Patagonia, and Indonesia’s forestry policy. -- Annotation ©2017 * (protoview.com) *
