Description:
The guide – along with an infographic explaining the AR5 process – was published by the University of Cambridge Judge Business School and Programme for Sustainability Leadership, with support from the European Climate Foundation. It is first in a series of publications that will be released as the scientific information upon which they are based becomes publicly available. The series was borne of the belief that businesses could make more use of AR5, which is long and highly technical, if it were distilled into accurate, accessible, timely, relevant, and readable summaries. The entire series will be available on both the ECF website and the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership website, so check back for future installments.
