Business leaders from 150 global companies have called for a comprehensive, legally binding United Nations framework to tackle climate change. The initiative, led by the Prince of Wales and EU Corporate Leaders Groups on Climate Change (CLGCC), includes some of the biggest global companies from the US, Europe, Australia and China. It comes before UN climate talks in Bali, Indonesia, from December 3-14. Companies in support of the UN call include Coca-Cola, Gap, Nike, Sun Microsystems, Westpac, Anglo-American, F&C Asset Management, British Airways, Nestle, Nokia, Shell, Tesco, Virgin and Volkswagen.
COMMENT: The shift to a low carbon economy is not only an environmental need but also an unprecedented economic and social opportunity that will likely fold. You must spend moving to make money. Innovative means are imperative.
