There are several companies that are taking actions to promote low carbon technologies and altering their own operations to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. Some of these are being undertaken as a measure of corporate social responsibility, but many companies are taking such steps essentially because they foresee the development of a carbon market which would provide business opportunities. It is particularly relevant that Carbon Business would target senior business leaders and would, therefore, have valuable strategic relevance to the future of business.

Over the years many publications have been launched dealing with climate change issues, but in my knowledge this is perhaps the first that would deal essentially with the business aspects of a lower carbon future for the world.
