Society, including business, works best when we jointly accept a challenge. One only needs to think of the huge strides that governments and businesses – supported by the public – made once nations had set themselves the task of landing a man on the moon. At the beginning of the “space race,” it was not even clear that this technological challenge could be met. Preventing catastrophic climate change will require a similar approach. Only when every facet of society – including government and business – sets the collective goal of ensuring our children inherit a safe planet will there be nothing to stop us.
