Climate in the Boardroom: Struggling to Reconcile Business as Usual & the End of the World as We Know It

How does one witness to businesspeople about climate change? Climate change is a problem for the collective and the long term, whereas business often requires a ruthless focus on the individual and the quarter. Climate change is an ethical catastrophe whose solution almost certainly requires a profoundly moral response, but talk of morality in the boardroom is often regarded with profound suspicion. Reconciling these tensions has forced me to navigate between worlds in an ongoing attempt to persuade businesspeople that solving climate change is both an economic and a moral necessity, and that the purpose of business is not only to make money but also to support the institutions that will enable us to build a sustainable world. This has not always been easy.

董事会中的气候:努力协调日常业务和我们所知的世界末日

如何向商人见证气候变化?气候变化是集体和长期的问题,而企业通常需要狠狠地关注个人和季度。气候变化是一场道德灾难,其解决方案几乎肯定需要深刻的道德回应,但在董事会中谈论道德常被深深地怀疑。调和这些紧张关系使我不得不在世界之间导航,以不断说服商人,解决气候变化既是经济上的道义,也是道义上的必须,而生意的目的不仅是为了赚钱,而且还要为能够使我们能够建立一个可持续发展的世界。这并不总是那么容易。
