On October 6, 2016, the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance hosted "The Climate-Competent Board" Roundtable, which was co-sponsored by the KPMG Board Leadership Center. The topic was very timely as investors, boards and companies are starting to focus more on ESG and sustainability issues.   The Directors & Board magazine's First Quarter 2017 issue included the following articles about the panel:  "Climate change and the corporate board:  Too hot not to handle?" by Charles M. Elson and Nicholas J. Goossen, and "Panel on climate risk:  It's real, it's material, it's a board issue."
