“Corporations at Climate Crossroads” - Livestream

Woods Affiliate Lily Hsueh is an Associate Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Arizona State University and the author of Corporations at Climate Crossroads (MIT Press, 2025). Previously a Visiting Scholar at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, Lily Hsueh’s work has been featured in major news outlets, including the Financial Times, Fortune, and PBS NewsHour. She was a 2020 - 21 American Fellow of the American Association of University Women.

Climate action is facing political headwinds in many countries, and international cooperation is increasingly strained, Lily Hsueh’s new book sheds light on how the world’s largest corporations have taken action on climate change leading up to and after the Paris Agreement. Corporate responses to the climate challenge are an interplay of internal firm leadership, complementary business capabilities, and strategic and proactive engagement with regulatory processes and global governance.

Moderated by Woods faculty director Chris Field, the panel will begin with a presentation of the book by Lily Hsueh, followed by remarks and a roundtable discussion with Stanford scholars.

Moderator and Panelists:

• Chris Field, Woods Institute for the Environment
