Description:

GROCC provides a unique forum for discussion, analysis and exchange of ideas among businesses from all parts of the world, international institutions, NGOs, and leading academic experts. We explore technological and policy options for diminishing climate change while meeting global energy needs. We deal with projects that test and scale sustainable energy and other activities and policies that address climate change. GROCC helps bring together new initiatives and interactions among the participants that address climate changes and adaptation.

Public Resources:

The Roundtable hosts public events at Columbia University. Our staff can also provide public presentations about climate change, the involvement of the business community in the issue, and other related topics. We are also happy to serve as a source of information for people seeking to learn more about the subject.

Other Resources: We have access to a broad network of potential volunteers for events through our connection with the Earth Institute, and can publicize important information or announcements on a case-by-case basis to our business participants.
