Description
Professor Daniel Nyberg - 18 April 2013 - Corporations and the politics of climate change: Climate change emerges daily as an ever-worsening threat to society. And yet, despite the established body of climate change research in the physical sciences reinforcing the catastrophic implications, tangible political action remains limited and global GHG emissions continue to increase. In this talk Professor Nyberg will discuss political myths regarding the omnipotence of corporations that haunt business studies and play a part in the lack of responses to climate change beyond minor adjustments in the forms of adaptation and mitigation.
