1. Welcome: the 23rd issue
Summer is coming and with it, the heat. The rising temperatures remind us about the problem of global warming. The climate is changing, and as it changes, it has an impact on the way we live and, of course, on the economic landscape too. What do experts say about climate change and the economy? What environmental regulations, policies or standards do companies need to be aware of? Where can we find greenhouse gases emission data? Which companies are performing the best in a green economy? Answers to such questions and many more can be found in our June Newsletter. And remember; only the ones who can effectively calculate the risks and opportunities of the climate change will be able to survive the coming storms.
