Introduction
Climate change is rarely out of the media spotlight but are businesses taking action? Verdantix participated in a seminar for climate change experts hosted by Thomson Reuters to hear from the policy, not-for-profit and business insiders. Among experts there is agreement on the scale of the economic transformation required, the policy framework and the sticks and carrots to effect change. There is also awareness of a plethora of blocking factors including insufficient mindshare outside the HQs of the largest corporates, too much expectation placed on carbon markets, limited business expertise in implementing climate change programmes, high oil prices and increased lobbying against tough emissions caps.
