In this collaboration between the KPMG Board Leadership Center (BLC) and Eurasia Group, our aim is to help widen the boardroom aperture on the global climate challenge—where it stands, and what’s at stake—and to help boards position their companies for the risks, opportunities, and transformations ahead.

But the climate stakes are too high, and the long-term trajectory already set, not to remain hopeful.

In many ways this is already happening—the private sector is gearing up.
