Business and Climate Change -

UK Experience of Opportunities and Engagement

Session Overview: 

 
Since the establishment of its climate change task force in 2007, the CBI has been at the forefront of the business response to climate change. Through its work on climate change, it has set out the business opportunities associated with decarbonising our economy – as well as making clear the role of government in implementing the policy changes needed to create markets for new technologies and stimulate demand for low-carbon investment. As the CBI has set out in its recent brief, Developing a low-carbon economy in China: the contribution from British business, international partnerships are essential if we are to tackle climate change effectively – and there is much that UK and Chinese businesses can learn from each other in this area.
