The transition to a low carbon economy represents a key challenge facing leaders in the early 21st century. Climate change creates risks and opportunities that will shape the context for institutions and individuals throughout society.

	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? How will they affect my business? What regulatory strategy do I need to put in place?
	How will climate change affect the purchasing behaviour of my customers? What impact will it have across my supply chain and distribution channels? What are my response options?
	Will everyone in my industry be affected equally – or will there be competitive consequences within the industry?
	What would it be worth to build a true leadership position around climate change? What would it take?
	What is the likely value associated with "going green"? Should we carve out leadership in this field or just stay with the pack?
	What new skills and capabilities do we need to build to compete successfully in the low carbon economy? How should we organise against an issue that cuts across business lines and functional silos?
	How fast do I need to act?
	What's the potential cost or risk associated with sticking with the pack? Or even playing a contrarian game?

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.
