Big shifts need to happen in business so the world can avoid the most catastrophic effects of climate change.
But it can be difficult to know what your role is in this process — and you may even wonder whether you can make a difference at all.
Does what you do as an entry-level employee or a small business owner really matter? Can we get where the science tells us we need to be within capitalism? And is it worth being optimistic when the planet seems doomed?
The Harvard Business Review approached Andrew Winston with questions and concerns people may have about climate action.

What if helping the environment isn’t profitable for my business? 


I’m a small business owner. Isn’t combating climate change a job for big companies?


Can we fight climate change within capitalism?


What can convince business leaders to act on climate change?


People say they want green products, but don’t they just buy what’s cheap?


Is fighting climate change a job for businesses in developing economies
or just developed regions?


I’m an entry-level employee. How can I get my company to act on climate change?
