Climate in context: Geopolitics, business, and the board
Climate change, energy transition and positioning companies for the risks, opportunities, and transformations ahead
In this collaboration between the 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 Board Leadership Center (BLC) and Eurasia Group, our aim is to help widen the boardroom aperture on the global climate challenge鈥攚here it stands, and what鈥檚 at stake鈥攁nd to help boards position their companies for the risks, opportunities, and transformations ahead.
Not since World War Two and its aftermath has the convergence of geopolitics and business been more consequential: Global progress in tackling climate change is, of course, heavily dependent on countries fully delivering on stated commitments and announced policies鈥攁 big bet in an era of growing uncertainty, political instability, ongoing recession risk, and black swan crises. But the climate stakes are too high, and the long-term trajectory already set, not to remain hopeful. And where governments fall short, businesses鈥攇uided by their boards, and pressed by investors and regulators鈥攈ave a major opportunity to pick up the slack. In many ways this is already happening鈥攖he private sector is gearing up.
The business implications of climate change and an energy transition become clearer every day. How to get ahead of this and position the company for a very different future is becoming a standing agenda item in boardrooms.
