Description:
This RMIQ, RMI's Quest for Solutions, is titled "A Convenient Truth: Profitable Business-Led Climate Solutions." The panel focuses on the premise that climate protection is an excellent business opportunity. Examples show that climate protection is profitable, not costly; that a growing constellation of companies are saving energy far faster than would be needed to stabilize climate if the whole world did the same; and large and small communities can make a difference.
