Time to press the panic button?

Jonathon Porritt, February 5th, Forum Blog.

files/Panic Button Small.jpg I’m still reeling from the surreal sight of Lord Whacko Monckton (the climate contrarians’ eccentric of choice), captured on Newsnight last night doing an imitation of Al Gore at a public meeting in Australia. Frightening stuff. Whenever I see Monckton at work, it reminds me just how desperate people must be to have their doubts and prejudices about climate change affirmed by some public figure – indeed, ... Read more

 

If climate change didn’t exist, would we have to invent it?

Martin Wright, February 4th, Forum Blog.

This mischievous thought occurred to me as I was wading through the latest sclerotic surge of climate scepticism – which is fast becoming the press’s default position on the issue.

Paint your business green with sustainable innovation

Chris Sherwin, January 27th, Forum Blog.

Sustainable innovation can be a time-consuming and sometimes frustrating process. Our latest report Paint the Town Green has been more than three years in the making but what a story we have to tell. The report is about a multi-year innovation collaboration ... Read more

 

A step closer to sustainable financial markets?

Alice Chapple, January 27th, Forum Blog.

files/step closer to sustainable finance.jpg President Barack Obama has shaken up the banks with his plans for radical reform just as they seemed to be settling back into their cosy business-as-usual ways, but it’s just a small step in the right direction. No doubt the banks will respond with warnings over the coming days, weeks and months that regulation of their activities or their remuneration policies would hurt us more than it ... Read more

 

Investigating the business case for sustainability: seven steps that could make you millions

David Bent, January 27th, Forum Blog.

Good environmental management has saved telecoms group BT more than $700 million. It used clear-eyed analysis and fundamental financial tools to identify the business case for sustainability. Here are steps you can apply yourself. Finding the business case is the ‘holy grail’ of sustainability professionals, a goal which sometimes seems impossibly hard, and yet there are actually many different business cases for sustainability projects, change programmes and ... Read more
