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.
