Climate Capitalism: Making the Profitable Transition to the Low-Carbon Economy
About the Webinar
On this call, Hunter and Boyd share ideas from their new book Climate Capitalism. They address the future of capitalism in a carbon-constrained world and demonstrate that climate change policy will promote, not hinder, the growth of our global economy. Hunter and Boyd also share their insights into what the hot careers will be in the next decade; how you can become an instigator of climate capitalism as an intrapreneur within a larger company; and the possibilities for entrepreneurship and climate capitalism.
