Wealth and Climate Competitiveness: The New Narrative on Business and Society
This book explores how wealth and innovation can enable the needed path to solutions that decarbonize, decentralize, and digitize our near future.
90 Minute Briefing and Open Discussion on June 8, 2023
Many of the central concerns of the 21st century—racial inequity, white supremacy movements, greater inclusiveness of diverse peoples—are rooted in facing and overcoming prejudices, both popular and hidden. Another great challenge—the role of wealth and innovation in solving the climate crisis—is also riddled with disabling prejudices about how corporations work, and about the rights and needs of consumers and world citizens.
In Piasecki’s 21st book, he explores how wealth, both private and corporate, can assist the path to climate competitiveness. Using the examples of select firms like Merck, Trane Technologies and oil giants like the transforming bp, Bruce Piasecki’s new book opens eyes. He argues that a set of five recurring prejudices have held up, from 1900 to 2020, real progress on climate action. His chapters are designed to define climate competitiveness as a path to solutions that decarbonize, decentralize, and digitize our near future.
Discuss with Dr. Piasecki the new narrative in this book on how to achieve the right balance in our carbon and capital constrained century.
