Summary.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently issued an important new report about how dire the consequences of climate change are becoming, and how fast we need to move to avoid the worst. The answer? Fast. In order to avoid climate catastrophe, companies must accelerate current efforts (embracing renewable energy and slashing energy use, for example) and go far beyond them. They need to lobby governments for pro-climate policies; publicly support science; engage customers; and rethink investment decisions with a bias toward carbon reduction.
