Appetite for Change

Business is looking to governments for leadership in establishing the behavioural change necessary to halt global warming, with a mixture of penalties and rewards that is most likely to encourage business to reduce its impact on the environment.

These are two of the findings drawn from Appetite for Change, which takes a close look at attitudes in the international business community towards environmental regulation, legislation and taxes. In almost 700 interviews in 15 countries, executives shared their perspectives on issues such as the impact of climate change, the role of government, preferred environmental policy tools, and the essential ingredients for an effective global climate change deal.
