Join us and learn how corporate business leaders could fix the biggest challenge of the century

Global average temperatures have risen by 1 degree Celsius over the past century. Whether they will rise by another 1, 2 or 3 degrees over the next century depends on decisions corporations and governments will or will not make today. This talk discusses how corporations and regulators can work together to fix the biggest market failure humankind has faced in its existence. Professor Auffhammer will discuss how changing the economic incentives we face will determine the success of our species.
