Summary

In the final chapter, readers find a brief review of the main contents that have been covered in the book. Jointly with that, there is a series of reflections derived from everything we have discussed throughout the text, such as the key role played by business education and the entrepreneurial action of governments in the fight against the climate emergency. In accordance with a more humanist management proposal and a greater awareness of the organisations–natural environment relationship, we highlight the educational proposals that stand out for presenting the new management values that this book aims to highlight and that begin by redefining the company's internal mission of regenerative strategy. The chapter ends with a brief reflection on the role that the entrepreneurial state must play in the definitive boost of the technologies that can help us face the climate emergency, not only by supporting companies and solving market failures, but also by creating markets and taking risks that no other agent is willing to bear. From our perspective, the climate emergency calls for it.
