Innovation to drive growth in manufacturing.
All this without even addressing the big elephant in the room, or dare we say soon-to-be-extinct polar bear on an isolated iceberg, decarbonization innovation will help them reduce costs and drive more efficient manufacturing practices. 

So, this is the time. Corporations and governments can already turn to open innovation and clean technology to avoid any related financial or reputation fallouts.
