Climate Strategy and Carbon Policy

 
Alternative Energy and Clean Tech Base of the Pyramid and Social Enterprise Green Buildings and Development Climate Strategy and Carbon Policy

Climate change has become an increasingly visible business concern.  Supplier relationships, raw material procurement, shipping and transportation costs and the ultimate pricing of goods and services will all be affected.  Regulations are being developed that alter the price of carbon at all levels of the local and global economies, and more regulations are on the horizon.  New rules will affect energy pricing and availability, creating a ripple effect throughout  entire value chains.


The successful  business model will view climate change as a market transition, in the form of both systemic risks that cut across the entire economy and regulatory, legal, physical, and reputational risks that hit at the sector, industry, and company-specific levels.
