High-Level Reception and Press Conference at COP-15
Directly after HRH The Prince of Wales's speech in the UN plenary on Tuesday 15th December 2009, The Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership (CPSL) hosted a special reception in the Bella Centre, where the negotiations were taking place. Our press conference participants met with a wide range of country delegation representatives, ranging from the Vice Prime Minister of Sweden to the ex-President of Costa Rica, in a short reception, where Corporate Leaders' Group Leaders were able to meet with and congratulate the Prince on his speech. Directly following this, an official press conference was held to highlight some of the Prince's initiatives which have had an input into Copenhagen.
The press conference panellists included:
Garrett Forde, CEO Professional Lighting Solutions EMEA, Philips, representing the CLG>
Ole Beier Sorensen, Chief of Department, ATP, representing the investment community>
Andreas Spiegel, VP Risk Management Division, Swiss Re, representing the insurance sector and ClimateWise
