COP-15 Side Event
On Thursday 10th December, The Corporate Leaders' Group on Climate Change (CLG) hosted a side-event at the COP-15 entitled 'The Business of Climate Change Post-Copenhagen'. The event was kindly hosted by Skanska at their brand new office building close to the Bella Centre, attracting about 150 delegates.
A panel of eight experts steered the discussion, including:
Dr. Graeme Sweeney, Executive VP, Future Fuels & CO2, Shell and Chairman, Zero Emissions Platform
Clay Nesler, VP of Global Energy & Sustaianability, Johnson Controls
Meera Sanyal, Executive VP and CountryDirector in India, ABN AMRO / RBS
Sidnei Basile, VP, Institutional Affairs, Grupo Abril
Jeremy Hobbs, Director, Oxfam International
Dr. Jeanne Ng, Director, Group Environmental Affairs, CLP Holdings
Stine Bosse, CEO, Trygvesta
Noel Morrin, VP of Sustainability & Green Construction, Skanska
The aim of the event was to bring together business leaders from CLG-type groupings from around the world and signatories of The Copenhagen Communiqué on Climate Change, policymakers and representatives from civil society, to debate what the public policy priorities should be, post-Copenhagen, to speed delivery of the low-carbon economy. The format of the event was highly interactive, facilitated by Craig Bennett, Co-Director of the CLG.
