Description: This report serves as a "how to" guide for corporate decision makers as they navigate rapidly-changing global markets. The report presents an in-depth look at the development and implementation of corporate strategies that take into account climate-related risks and opportunities. The report is comprised of two main sections: 1. The Synthesis Report lays out a step-by-step approach for incorporating climate change into corporate strategies and is primarily based on results from a 100-question survey completed by 31 companies. 2. The Case Studies section features the lessons learned at each step of the strategy development process by these six companies: Cinergy (now Duke Energy), Swiss Re, DuPont, Alcoa, The Shell Group, Whirlpool Corporation.
