Taking Action Against Climate Change

Between Ethics and Profit
Publisher Buchet Chastel
New players in the fight against global warming.

For over 25 years, diplomats and experts from nearly 200 countries have been considering ways to slow global warming. The 2015 Paris Accords, signed after COP 21, are the most visible outcome. But withslow progress and increased greenhouse gas emissions, new players are now on the scene, altering the balance of power: the worlds of business and finance, collectives and communities, NGOs, lawyers, and philanthropic organizations of nigh-limitless means and uncertain motivation.
These non-governmental players, rallying for ethical reasons as well as personal interest, have incredible potential to affect international policy, and their initiatives are beginning to yield concrete results.
