Sustainable business is no longer optional--it's the strategy that will determine who leads and who gets left behind.Climate change is not just a future threat--it's a current reality, reshaping markets, supply chains, and entire industries. Rising temperatures, resource scarcity, and mounting waste are driving regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny, and consumer demand for sustainable practices. For business leaders, this isn't just an operational challenge--it's a strategic disruption. Companies that fail to adapt risk being swept aside by forces they can no longer ignore.In The Ultimate Disruption: Rethinking Business in a World Transformed by Climate Change, INSEAD professors Atalay Atasu and Luk Van Wassenhove provide an essential road map for thriving in this new era. Drawing on decades of research and real-world case studies, they show why sustainability must be treated as a core business imperative, not a compliance exercise or marketing slogan. The authors introduce a framework for rethinking strategy, redefining value propositions, and reinventing business models to integrate environmental value alongside customer utility and profit.Through compelling examples--from Polygreen's zero-waste transformation on a Greek island to Schneider Electric's global decarbonization initiatives--the book illustrates how companies are turning environmental constraints into opportunities for innovation and growth. Each chapter tackles critical steps: building the business case for sustainability; revisiting value potential; overcoming operational and scaling challenges; and leveraging partnerships, tech, and new business models to deliver shared value and profitability.Sustainability is no longer a cost--it's a competitive advantage. The Ultimate Disruption equips leaders with the strategies and tools to navigate the climate-driven transformation of business ecosystems and emerge stronger than ever.

Rethinking Business in a World Transformed by Climate Change

The Ultimate Disruption

This book examines the nuances of how the media conveys environmental issues, drawing on scientific facts and documenting grassroots realities, and influencing popular perceptions. It provides a broad overview of the emerging field of environmental communication research. It is a valuable resource for scholars of environmental communication across various disciplines, including environmental studies and media and communication studies.This book arises from the need to guide media academics undertaking research in environmental communication, as well as media professionals, environmental enthusiasts, and environmental non-governmental organisations. It discusses the issues, theories, and methods related to environmental communication research practised around the globe. It goes beyond the Green Revolution and its aftermath, and examines the mass media's coverage of agriculture. Case studies such as the Fukushima nuclear disaster and the Bhopal gas disaster provide an in-depth understanding of pollution policies and the role of the media in monitoring their implementation. Greta Thunberg's climate change movement and the depletion of the ozone layer are also discussed. The book covers how human-wildlife conflict revolves around protected areas. It focuses on how the media creates a platform for the exchange of eco-sensitive information and ideas. The book provides an in-depth account of ecocriticism and visual analysis. All chapters are intertwined with examples of media coverage of the environment.This book has an advocacy approach, aiming to encourage people and governments to take action by promoting research in environmental communication. It will be an invaluable textbook for students, researchers, and educators studying environmental communication, media studies, environmental studies, disaster studies, and cultural studies. It will also serve as an essential resource for academics, policymakers, disaster management professionals, media practitioners, mental health experts, social workers, and general readers seeking a deeper understanding of ecology and environment, disaster narratives, memory, and resilience.

Green Narratives

This book examines the profound economic, political, and social challenges posed by climate change, on the basis of a rigorous analysis of the cost of doing too little to control it and of the costs, benefits, and trade-offs of various mitigation strategies. It uniquely explores the global economic mechanisms and power dynamics driving inaction. Packed with case studies and actionable insights, it bridges complex economic theories and links them to practical solutions, making it an important resource for policymakers, academics, and thinkers focused on solutions.R.

The Sustainability Handbook, Volume 4: The Body of Knowledge around Sustainability Transformation provides a comprehensive and holistic understanding of sustainability, bridging the gap between academic theory and business practices. Aimed at those who have established a mature Sustainability Portfolio Management approach, Volume 4 goes beyond the why of Substantial, Radical, and Disruptive Sustainable Innovation, exploring how to capture and use Sustainability Drivers and Requirements. This volume naturally bridges the gap between the innovative ideas discussed in Volumes 1, 2, and 3, and their practical implementation. Global climate change poses enormous environmental challenges, and the private sector must find new ways of doing business to align their practices with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the international community. Using numerous specific case studies and insights from industry leaders, this handbook shows how to strategically integrate sustainability into an organization, with extensive focus on policies, incentives, measures, operations, production, consumption and lifecycle management. Volume 4 focuses on embedding these innovations into organizational processes, capabilities, culture, and strategy. It ensures that sustainability is not just a visionary goal but a tangible, operational reality, guiding businesses through the complex journey of integrating sustainable practices into their core operations. This book will be ideal for researchers, students and businesspeople at all levels and sectors who need a conceptually structured framework to understand what environmental, social, and economic sustainability actually means in different contexts.

Legal and Economic Aspects

Promoting Sustainable Innovation and the Circular Economy

In the fight against climate change, lithium's role in reducing emissions by powering green economies is a mixed blessing. Drawing on groundbreaking fieldwork in Chile, Nevada, and Portugal, Thea Riofrancos explores the environmental and social costs of the global race to expand lithium mining amid supply chain concerns. With haunting descriptions of vulnerable ecosystems, she examines how mining harms landscapes, provokes protest, takes centre stage in national politics, and links countries on the peripheries of the world economy to huge corporations, commodity markets, and powerful investors. Riofrancos traces the history of global extraction from colonial conquest to the 1970s energy crisis to the still-uncertain green future. While an unregulated mining boom could inflict irreversible harm, Riofrancos offers compelling ideas about how to harmonize climate action with social justice. Across the world's extractive frontiers, we encounter the most brutal aspects of capitalism - but also witness inspiring visions for our future planet.

The Frontiers of Green Capitalism

Extraction

What if we were to put a value on nature just as we value everything else? For as long as they have existed, our economic models have served us an incomplete picture. The models and metrics tell us that our economies are healthy because they are growing. However, this doesn't account for the fact that our growth is driven by a resource that we take for free and treat as infinite: nature. We know now, more than ever, that our demand on the natural world is unsustainable. It's no longer sufficient to only see part of the picture; it's time that our economic models show us the whole thing. An urgent call from renowned Cambridge economist Sir Partha Dasgupta to transform the focus and structures of global economics, On Natural Capital is a bold and groundbreaking book that could, truly, change everything. 'the most important person you've never heard of' - The New York Times 'Partha Dasgupta provides the compass we urgently need... by bringing economics and ecology together, we can help save the natural world at what may be the last minute - and in doing so, save ourselves.' - David Attenborough

On Natural Capital

'Everyone should read this book' - George Monbiot 'A compelling read for anyone who cares about all lives on our planet' - Tanya Steele CBE, CEO of WWF UK In this extraordinary and hopeful book, leading environmentalist Tony Juniper CBE identifies the real problem at the heart of the climate and nature crises. From soil loss to wildfires, degraded rivers, mass migration and conflict, the environmental crisis is already here - and it's set to get much worse. While billionaires build remote bunkers and make plans for colonies on Mars, climate collapse impacts the most vulnerable among us first and hardest. But what this radical and ground-breaking book proves is that inequality isn't just about who suffers the consequences, it is the main obstacle blocking action - and it has been for decades. How can people lead good lives without ultimately hastening global collapse? The answer lies in fairness. We can't fight the climate and nature crises without addressing the ever-widening gaps between the rich and poor, the powerful and the weak. Drawing upon more than 40 years of experience in research, practical work, campaigning and advocacy, combined with interviews with globally renowned experts, in Just Earth Tony Juniper reveals the system shifts needed to achieve real, lasting change.

This handbook on the "New" Space Economy (NSE) offers the first comprehensive analysis of the contemporary space economy. The "new" is characterized by commercialization, greater participation of the private sector, innovation, and increased engagement of national governments. Using multiple approaches, the volume conceptualizes the boundaries of an emerging field of inquiry, characterized by continuity and change and involving terrestrial and extraterrestrial activities. It covers the fundamental economic, institutional, and technological dynamics and assesses the socio-economic impact of the NSE. Largely a US and European phenomenon, the evolution of the NSE in other spacefaring nations such as China, India, Japan, and Russia is also examined. In The Oxford Handbook of the New Space Economy, chapters by both academics and practitioners systematically address the changing institutional arrangements, interactions between public and private actors, and the role of innovations and entrepreneurship. As constellations of satellites for earth observations, telecommunications, the internet, GPS, and other civilian applications tackle climate change and monitor natural disasters, the unsustainability of space activities due to orbital congestion and space debris is a reality. The 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty, which views space as a "global commons," needs revisiting to address regulatory challenges in space mining and other uses of extraterrestrial resources. This volume advances the state of knowledge on the dynamics of an emerging new space economy, identifies key stakeholders, and opens up future research areas for policymaking.

The Oxford Handbook of the New Space Economy

This volume explores the complex relationships between hazard, vulnerability and disaster for steering the challenges posed by disaster. Divergent to popular conviction and moving beyond technocratic approach, this book argues that natural hazards alone do not result in disasters. When they intersect with the vulnerability of vulnerable people, these hazards turn into disastrous events. Mostly depending on qualitative and comparative investigation, the book contends that various people - men and women, young and old, wealthy and poor as well as people of different social identities - encounter diverse outcomes confronting the same hazard. While transmuting hazards to disaster, social vulnerability plays a crucial role in determining resilience to natural hazards. The main objective of this book is to understand why and how disasters occur as it helps in constructing plans to address their root causes and identifying long-term solutions. The book aims to augment the voices of those vulnerable people who are most at risk from disasters. Although the book emphasises people's vulnerability at the centre of disaster and few countries in South Asia, the implications can be realistic across a variety of disaster settings in diverse social contexts. Posing an understanding of social construction of disasters in the context of the South Asia, this book will be of interest to academicians in the fields of Disaster Studies, Environmental Studies, Sociology, Political Science, Anthropology, History, Economics, International Development Studies and Governance Studies. It will also be an invaluable reading for policymakers, practitioners, academicians, development planners and all those interested in understanding the complexity and addressing the challenges of making South Asia a disaster-resilient region.
