Sustainability: The Business Opportunity of the 21st Century: Sustainability as a Constitutional Right – The Held Decision from Montana

Are you ready to take on the business opportunity of the 21st century? We are at a moment of enormous global change and even greater business opportunity. Climate change is the single biggest commercial opportunity of our time. In this podcast, Sustainability guru Richard Blundell and I explore the opportunities open to businesses that embrace sustainability from the business perspective. Find out why sustainability is the greatest opportunity of the 21st century, and you can prepare your business to take advantage of the unprecedented global opportunity.

In this episode of the “Sustainability: The Business Opportunity of the 21st Century” podcast, Richard and I deeply dive into the groundbreaking ruling in the case of Held v. State of Montana. This landmark ruling acknowledges climate change as a result of human activity, particularly CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels, and challenges the constitutionality of fossil fuel provisions that ignore greenhouse gas emissions and climate change in environmental reviews.

My view of this ruling is a significant acknowledgment of climate change and emphasizes the importance of embracing sustainability from a business perspective. Conversely, Richard sees this as a momentous ruling that sets a precedent, affirming the reality of climate change and its connection to human activity. Our extensive experience and knowledge in the field of sustainability shape our perspectives. Join us on this episode of the Sustainability podcast as we delve deeper into this landmark ruling and its implications for the future.

Key Highlights:

  • Climate Change Ruling Sparks Sustainable Business
  • Montana’s Landmark Ruling for Future Environmental Protection
  • Groundbreaking Ruling with Climate Change Roadmap
  • Montana’s Urgent Climate Change Mitigation Efforts
  • The Detrimental Effects of Climate Change on Children
