| Title | The market for climate change-related services: new insights into corporate action on climate change |
| Summary | In response to a wide range of identifiable drivers, including but not limited to the emergence of greenhouse gas regulation, companies are increasingly addressing the issue of climate change. Addressing the many risks and opportunities that climate change presents requires a wide range of skills and know-how. As a result, a sizeable market for climate change-related services has emerged to meet the needs of companies wishing to address the issue of climate change. Through a structured observation of the market for climate change-related services, this thesis aims to determine the extent to which the structure of the market influences the ability of companies to effectively address climate change. The thesis finds that the market has been supplied by companies coming from a wide range of different competencies, approaching the realm of climate change-related services in a manner that complements their existing business. The effect of a fragmented market on a company‟s ability to address climate change is discussed using the critical realist approach to the ontological issue of structure and agency, generating new insights into corporate action on climate change. |
