"Discusses how climate solutions must empower global development by improving livelihoods, health, and economic prospects and how poverty alleviation must become a central strategy for reducing global vulnerability to adverse climate impacts. Draws on expertise to ask how public, private sectors can help the poor manage the global climate crisis"--Provided by publisher.

Contributors from a plethora of business advocacy organizations explain how efforts to deal with climate change should and can further economic growth, for which the code has shifted from job creation to poverty alleviation. Their topics include what the climate crisis means for the poor, toward a new international climate change agreement, progress and opportunities in greenhouse gas mitigation efforts in China, multiple benefits of integrating climate change into development, the climate-security connection, and corporate action to build climate change resilience in developing countries and communities.
