We discussed the evolution and current status of climate leadership with two guest speakers – 2013 Climate Leadership Award winners in the Organizational Leadership category – who shared information about their initiatives, achievements, and lessons learned. Featured organizations not only have their own comprehensive GHG inventories and aggressive emissions reduction goals, but also exemplify leadership in their internal response to climate change, through engagement of their peers, competitors, partners, and supply chain, and addressing climate risk in their enterprise strategies.
