4. Climate-Driven Innovation
Creating a culture of climate-driven innovation can create value and occur in all
dimensions, across the enterprise: products, services, strategy, and financing.
Innovation is…“The commercial or
industrial application of something
new – a new product, process, or
method of production; a new market
or source of supply; a new form of
commercial, business or financial
organization.”
— Joseph Schumpeter, 1934
