Why is a global climate deal at Copenhagen vital for British business?
The business world is being warned it stands at a ‘fork in the road’ ahead of a pivotal summit of world leaders to address climate change. The warning comes from a key environmental group ahead of the UN Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen in December 2009.
Steve Howard, CEO of influential NGO, The Climate Group says a positive conclusion to Copenhagen could create a new ‘industrial revolution’ in green goods and services and create huge opportunities for business. A failure to reach agreement, he warns, could have a major impact on all businesses.
His comments come as the results of the third annual Climate Confidence Monitor commissioned by the HSBC Climate Partnership show a growing clamour from around the world that people are keen for their governments to tackle climate change with the same priority and level of investment as they’re putting into rebuilding the economy.
