The Insightful Leader Live: How Do We Get to a Zero-Carbon Future?

From record heat and wildfires to rising seas and destructive tropical storms, businesses are realizing that climate change isn’t just a problem for the future; it’s an immediate threat. And addressing and adapting to that threat is good business. But what exactly needs to be done, and how much time do we have to do it? Meghan Busse is an associate professor of strategy and an expert in the economics of energy markets. She will explain how we are doing globally in our efforts to transition to renewable energies, as well as what businesses will need to do—individually and collectively—to put our economy on a more sustainable path.
