World Business Summit on Climate Change
24-26 May 2009 Copenhagen, Denmark
Six months before the UN climate conference (COP15) in Copenhagen, the World Business Summit on Climate Change will bring together business with the world's top scientists, economists, civil society, media leaders, government representatives and other leading thinkers to put forward recommendations for the next international framework on climate change.
At this event, chief executives will discuss how business can help solve the climate crisis through innovative business models, new partnerships and the development of low carbon technologies. They will send a strong message to the negotiating governments on how to remove barriers and create incentives for implementation of new solutions in a post-Kyoto framework.
"It is an exciting and necessary project, to which the Danish Government gives its full support. In my view, the World Business Summit on Climate Change will be a pivotal event that can deliver an important contribution to the political decisions to be made during the UN Climate Conference, COP15, in Copenhagen in December 2009."
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Prime Minister of Denmark, host of the UN Summit in Copenhagen 2009
The results of the World Business Summit on Climate Change will be presented to the Danish government, host of COP15, and to world leaders negotiating the terms of the next international climate treaty.
