This paper addresses the following questions: In view of ongoing scientific concerns over global warming and a growing awareness amongst consumers over issues related to sustainable development, consider your response to the following statement: 'Companies that manage and mitigate their exposure to climate change risks whilst seeking new opportunities for profits will generate a competitive advantage over rivals in carbon constrained future'. Why business needs to actively promote sustainable development. What are the key ecological/economic arguments? What policy measure could government bring forward to either encourage or coerce business into adopting more sustainable behaviour? What are the advantages and disadvantages of such measures? What are the economic and ecological arguments against the pressure for legislation? To what extent can we rely instead on the efficiency and efficacy of the market? How will a greater emphasis on `green issues` in the industrialised countries change the face of world industry? What do we mean by new opportunities?
