The Climate Solutions Accelerator delivers an informative introduction to the most complicated and urgent challenge our species has ever faced. While there is plenty of evidence of the climate crisis in the news and in our neighborhoods, and billions of people are waking to the threat, most organizations and businesses are still trying to get their heads around the problem. The program explains how they can respond by changing their operations and investments to end CO2 emissions. It also describes how to prepare to adapt to increasing business disruptions we face until society succeeds in reaching carbon neutrality and begins to draw down the more than 1 trillion tons of anthropogenic CO2 emitted during the Industrial Era.
