It’s not enough just speaking of climate change. It’s time for courageous boards to recognise and prepare for economic transformation, says Chapter Zero Fellow, Nigel Topping.

Climate must be integrated into business strategy, says Chapter Zero Fellow, Jock Lennox, and it’s for boards and Chairs to help put it there, even at the risk of being challenged.

Whatever the threat – short, medium or long term – we have scientists to guide boards so let’s listen to them, says Chapter Zero Fellow, Dr Patricia Rodrigues Jenner.

Chapter Zero is not only equipping chairs and non-executive directors to lead on climate; we’re also inspiring them to be bold. Climate action is not just a moral argument – it’s a business one too.
