Businesses will need to rethink their approach to growth and focus more on sustainability and innovation to save the planet, says futurist and author Thomas Homer-Dixon.
"I know if I were a CEO or a president, then I would be trying to maximise shareholder value and that means adopting the best technology and adopting the philosophy of growing the company in the best way possible," he said.
"The larger consequence of increasing carbon dioxide output is going to be a disaster. Part of it is not being so fixated on efficiency and productivity and more fixated on resilience and innovation."
Homer-Dixon is a Professor at the University of Toronto – he specializes in Peace and Conflict Studies and is the author of several books on a variety of associate issues.
