The book brings together new analysis from primary research on business responses and innovations to climate legislation, outputs from workshop discussions, and insights from leading low carbon business practitioners. Broadly, the book is based on emerging theories of multi-levelled, multi-actor carbon governance, and applies these ideas to the real world implications for tackling climate change through business transformation.
