Discover four fundamental realities that explain how capitalism and climate action have been structurally opposed to each other, preventing even well-intentioned businesses from achieving meaningful environmental impact. Learn about Howard's proposed solution to transform the economic system by making green innovation so compelling and profitable that market forces naturally drive climate-positive outcomes. Gain insights into the systemic barriers that have hindered corporate climate action and explore a strategic framework for aligning economic incentives with environmental necessity, recorded at the TED Countdown Summit 2025.
