Joel Makower: Guru of Green Business

With the rising influence of climate change, businesses are addressing environmental issues as never before. But is it enough?

Joel Makower, the executive director of Greenbiz.com will provide a preview of his “State of Green Business” report- describing what’s working and what’s not in the growing sector of green business.

Termed the “Guru of Green Business Practices,” Makower is a prominent voice on business, sustainability and innovation. His presentation falls on the eve of the sixth annual GreenBiz Forum, a conference for business and economic development professionals and entrepreneurs that defines the trends, challenges and opportunities in sustainable business.

Makower is a regular commentator on environmental topics for National Public Radio’s “Marketplace” and is an invited speaker for companies, industry groups and business schools around the world.
