Using GEO-5 (a 500+ page compilation of environmental data, policy options and scenarios) as its foundation, GEO-5 for Business serves as a primer written specifically for business leaders. While much analysis has been conducted on the impacts of business on the environment, this report looks in the other direction – at the impacts of environmental trends on business. GEO-5 for Business provides a clear picture of trends and impacts that business leaders across 10 key sectors should focus on, both to mitigate risk and explore new opportunities.
