Many global projects claiming climate change adaptation often raise human rights concerns and carry significant carbon and ecological footprints. A truly effective approach requires breaking with past assumptions, moving beyond systems that exacerbated the crisis, and addressing worsening scenarios and psychological impacts.

Erik Sten, City Commissioner, discussed the city's program. Genevieve Nelson, co-founder of Sisters of The Road, shared insights from a survey of 400 homeless individuals.

This excerpt is from a panel presentation at the Business In The Community Ireland Summit on Corporate Responsibility, held in November 2010.

The panel featured experts including James Quincey (The Coca-Cola Company), Sir Stuart Rose (Marks & Spencer), and Gerard O'Neill of Amarach Research.

O'Neill highlighted how marketers' 'pricing trap' hinders sustainability initiatives. He argued that while price accounts for only 30% of a purchase decision, emotion and feelings drive 70%. Emphasizing trust and the social environment is crucial for consumers to move beyond price-driven choices.
