Business perspectives on a long-term international framework to address global climate change
Publication date : 04/12/2007 | Document Number : 213/51
COP-13 in Bali is an opportunity to further develop a process that will lead to the development of cooperative, long-term approaches involving all nations and regions to address climate change under the auspices of the UNFCCC and which will provide business with the clarity that it needs to plan and undertake long-term investments.
The International Chamber of Commerce and its members will continue to work with governments and stakeholders to identify and deploy effective solutions to the challenge of climate change. We welcome all opportunities to continue our active dialogue in these important international discussions in particular, the platform of the Bali Global Business Day.
As COP-13 will focus on developing a process to create a global approach to tackle climate change, this paper will highlight process-related issues. After COP-13 and as the process further develops, ICC will continue to provide further business views on the specific content of a global long-term approach, including the methodologies, instruments, conditions and driving forces needed for business and industry to take meaningful steps to reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses while supporting economic prosperity and growth.
