Please join us in a fun and lively discussion. Global warming is a significant business issue—not only in terms of corporate social responsibility—but as a key business risk and opportunity.

Scientists tell us we need to reach a reduction in greenhouse gas pollution of 80% by 2050 – and businesses have a large part to play in reaching that goal.
