How Do We Address Climate Challenges?

Climate Strategies for Business

Copenhagen Business School invited students, companies and researchers to get engaged in designing business responses to climate challenges. Launching the steering group ‘Climate Strategies for Business’ (CBS-CSB), CBS invited stakeholders to a seminar with representatives from four large companies who shared their experience with creating strategies to cope with various climate challenges.

The presentations were followed by four informal workshops, exclusively for companies and researchers, where various themes concerning climate challenges were debated.
