In March 2006, on the occasion of the Tomorrow's Company Annual Lecture, former US Vice President Al Gore delivered a powerful speech on the subject of climate change. He stressed the need for companies to work in partnership with others to combat what many regard as the greatest challenge facing the planet.
This publication first sets out the issues outlined by Al Gore, focusing on particularly on the growing urgency of the situation. It then examines the efforts made, to date, to create a global framework for action, before looking at how companies feature in the potential solutions. It reviews examples of action taken by the business community to reduce negative environmental impacts and pro-actively tackle climate change, before making some concluding observations on the role of companies and others in facing the challenge ahead.
This is the second in a series of interim publications which explore some fo the major challenges being faced by companies within the context of the Tomorrow's Global Company inquiry.

The Tomorrow’s Global Company inquiry is bringing together a group of leaders primarily from business, but also from civil society and NGO backgrounds, to explore the trends that will effect the future global business environment and will spell out what these changes mean for their strategy, leadership and governance. As part of the inquiry, Tomorrow’s Company organised a conference in partnership with Wilton Park which introduced some of the key inquiry themes to a diverse audience. This publication captures the main points made by selected speakers, the key conclusions that emerged from the discussions and some reflections on the key conference themes.
