Pathways to Action takes a strategic approach to accelerating action on climate change. It outlines key challenges for governments and industries, and provides four pathways with practical examples and illustrations for each. The book acknowledges that not all opportunities are created equal, and that misinformation and mistrust are barriers that must be overcome. It examines the role of keystone organizations and how leaders in such organizations can create outsized leverage in their competitive space. We are pleased to be part of Peter’s research. This is really about committing individually and collectively as a business to do the right thing. We still have a lot more to do, but Peter’s ideas validate a lot of hard work and the direction we’ve taken. JOHN PHILIP S. ORBETA, Chief Human Resources Officer, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Risk Officer, ACEN Corporation Some books are worth reading; others should be required reading … and doing. Pathways to Action goes beyond proclaiming the irreversible risk of climate change and offers concrete solutions to make progress. The four pathways are explicated with cases, assessments, action items, reflections and tools. The blueprint in this comprehensive book could help change the climate direction and create a more sustainable society. GREAT book that taught me a lot. DAVE ULRICH, Rensis Likert Professor, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, Partner, The RBL Group I was captivated by what Peter has written. This is a really important and impressive book. It was frankly overwhelming, but the case he makes is strong because of all the details, all that research, and all the companies and organizations he includes. The Pathways approach seems terrific to me. DAVID GOEHRING, Independent Content Advisor, Former Director, Harvard Business Review Press and Former Director John Wiley and Sons Digital Book Publishing The hard part is taking good intentions and making them actionable. Peter’s ideas about Pathways to Action make a lot of sense. VICTORIA TAN, Executive Director for Group Risk Management and Sustainability, Ayala Corporation Peter McAteer is the world’s expert in applying the principles of sustainability in the real world for the benefit of our planet and more profitable businesses. Pathways to Action provides strategies to accelerate sustainability and provides four specific pathways to accomplish that goal with practical examples of how to do it.

EIMICKE, Professor of Management Practice, Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs Great read, great learning and great ideas! Peter’s knowledge of these issues is amazing, and he manages to make very complex issues easily understandable. - MALCOLM GOODALE, Former Head of Leadership Development, United Nations System Staff College (UNSSC) Peter’s book is a must-read for anyone interested in how to impact the climate change crisis. Offering fresh insights on a decades-long issue that continues to struggle for attention, this book will provide the reader with updated, well-researched information, articulated in a detailed, yet easy to read and understandable format. Most importantly, Peter gives us hope that there can still be time for action, from the actions of critical “keystone” organizations and government leaders to the individual behaviors of “followers.” It wisely looks at cultural and geographic differences and how to learn and utilize ideas from various sources. While I remain scared of the current situation and skeptical of our ability to act in time to avoid catastrophe, this book gives me new energy to fight for a hopeful future of significant action necessary to turn the tide. One or more of the pathways Peter lays out will be the answer, but only if we act. Please read the book and share it broadly. - MIKE OSORIO, Vice President Retail & Marketing, Tori Richard Ltd. Pathways to Action is a timely transformational book which elicits visionary passion and focus for sustainability, while providing a straightforward practical approach for keystone organizations and leaders to bring the vision to life. The book is built upon a factual, logical and pragmatic foundation that draws in deniers and encourages believers to become true advocates, in word, and in deed. McAteer’s mission to save the planet is undoubtedly clear; however, his wise counsel and guidance can help any institution or individual succeed in bringing their unique visionary dreams to fruition and thus make a difference in this world we call home. The Q&A and reflection exercises at the end of the chapters are helpful tools for the reader to absorb the wealth of data you provide and to reaffirm the importance of your call to action. - JOSEPH P. O’BRIEN, President, National Scoliosis Foundation The topic is just so important. Peter focuses on
