Climate change creates risks and opportunities that will shape the context for institutions and individuals throughout society.

We support and advise decision makers as they address a host of increasingly important questions…

	What is climate change likely to mean for my business? What new growth opportunities are likely to open up, and what new threats could materialise?
	What are the most likely new regulatory scenarios and how will they affect my business?
	How will climate change affect the purchasing behaviour of my customers? What impact will it have across my supply chain and distribution channels?
	What new skills and capabilities do we need to build to compete successfully in the low carbon economy?

Superior industry insight and leading functional expertise

Our Climate Change Special Initiative brings the latest insights, experience, and expertise from all parts of our firm—including deep understanding of climate change; its implications for industries such as travel and logistics, biofuels, and financial services; and climate change strategy, low-carbon operations, low-carbon growth markets, and risk management.

More than 1,000 colleagues from across McKinsey are participating in this work, with scientific backgrounds ranging from climate science and environmental economics to waste engineering, oceanography, numeric weather modeling, international affairs, agriculture and forestry, and nuclear and fuel cells. They bring vast career experience from working for the UNDP in Congo, a waste management company in Chile, financial restructuring in China, and the renewable energy departments of global energy companies.

The impact of climate change on the world's leading institutions—and those organizations' strategic response to it—is one of the most important and cutting-edge areas where we are working.

We are proud to be contributing in this field.
