Marc Gunther, an author for GreenBiz.com, asked himself this very same question in an article titled "What the Heck Happened in Durban?". Depending on whether you see the glass half full or half empty, the outcomes at the UNFCCC's Conference of the Parties 17 in Durban, South Africa will give you a sigh of relief or make your blood boil at the lack of dedication to the climate issue on the global stage. Either way, Marc Gunther provides an excellent summary for you to help come to your own conclusions about what the negotiations in Durban will mean for our future in the face of climate change.

In brief, Gunther says:

"I see two takeaways here for business. First, those companies that worry about climate change need to bring their voices more forcefully to the policy arena; they can't assume that governments are on the right track. Second, companies ought to prepare for climate change -- when they site new facilities, for example -- because it's unavoidable."
