The Copenhagen Communiqué - an initiative of The Prince of Wales's Corporate Leaders' Group on Climate Change (CLG) - is widely recognised as the definitive progressive statement from the international business community ahead of the United Nations (UN) climate change conference in Copenhagen this December. In just two pages, it sets out the business case for an ambitious, robust, effective and equitable UN climate framework and offers a progressive global consensus on the shape of an agreement. It warns that business will suffer if a credible deal is not reached in Copenhagen.
- A comprehensive international framework will facilitate a coordinated response to climate change which is, undoubtedly, in the long-term interests of the business community.
- Taking action now on climate change will be less costly and disruptive than waiting.
- A strong deal in Copenhagen will provide clarity and certainty about the future direction of climate change policy, making it easier for business to plan long-term investment and create opportunities for growth in the technologies of the future.
By signing the Copenhagen Communiqué, GOPA demonstrates its commitment to the issue of climate change to both customers and partners. |
