A Unique Opportunity

The pace at which new scientific findings, policy developments, technological innovations, and business strategies related to climate change are appearing presents a distinct challenge for organizational leaders. The sheer volume and speed of new information makes it critical that there be a place for corporate leaders to come together to prepare for corporate strategies ahead of the curve.

The UCLA Climate Academy is a unique effort to provide leaders with both a firm understanding of the climate change landscape and the resources necessary to remain on top of relevant issues. The CCCS will thus provide organizational leaders and implementers with the tools to act.

Accessing the Opportunities Presented by Climate Change

• Regulation creates new markets and services.
• Federal and state legislation is in great flux, giving companies with experience here an advantage in preparing for national (and international) market shifts.
• New markets in alternative energy are already emerging.
• New markets in adapting communities and systems to the impacts of climate change are beginning to form.

Tremendous Value to Leaders and Businesses

• Opportunity to interact with peers who are leading in this evolving market.
• Knowledge of how to access up-to-the-minute research and policy details.
• Access to top leaders in academia, business, and government.
