How Can Business Accelerate Innovative Solutions to the Climate Challenge?

We launched an in-depth study on low-carbon business innovation with generous funding from Hewlett-Packard (HP). Innovation in low-carbon technologies is critical to achieving the greenhouse gas emissions reductions necessary to addressing climate change while maintaining robust economic growth. Businesses are an important engine of the low-carbon innovations that are vital to solving the global climate change problem. This project is a research effort to understand how leading companies successfully execute low-carbon innovation strategies with the aim of helping to accelerate this type of innovation in the U.S. and global economy.
