  • The climate change debate keeps moving on, at a faster and faster pace, and keeping up with it gets harder and harder for business and professional leaders. The Carbon Yearbook provides an admirable solution to that problem, and I have found the principal articles to be of enormous value in terms of providing authoritative and timely insights into critical aspects of the debate

  • The essential guide to navigating the real world implications of constructing a low carbon economy.

  • Climate change transforms the landscape of risk and opportunity for the whole of business. It is doing more rapidly and more extensively than many businesses yet realise. Navigating a successful course through the increasing noise and uncertainties of the climate debate will be a core skill for business success. This yearbook provides essential signposts by some of the best informed and most authoritative voices in the global debate.

  • Climate change requires the simultaneous solution, at a global level, of complex diplomatic, economic, political, financial, scientific and technological puzzles. Each requires the highest levels of professional knowledge, skill and determination, as well as a full understanding of all the other aspects of the problem. The Carbon Yearbook updates the reader on the most important of these puzzles, many of them with a UK focus that reflects the way UK professionals in many fields have pushed the debates forward and found approaches that can be applied across the world.

  • The Yearbook makes a fascinating read and is right on the mark in focusing on the main challenges we face as we move into a low carbon economy.
