Following the approval of the Copenhagen Accord at the UNFCCC COP 15, there is now a need to accelerate solutions to mitigate climate change. Fortunately, many of these business, finance and technological solutions already exist, and they must be implemented and scaled globally from the bottom-up, with the private and public sector.
The World Climate Summit is a new, open and collaborative platform that cuts across sectors and industries, accelerating these solutions and encouraging partnerships between businesses, investors, and governments. It is a conference that will run every year for at least the next 10 years, in parallel to the UNFCCC COP annual meeting, with the inaugural one in December 4-5th, 2010 during COP 16 in Cancun, Mexico. This global platform will help governments, companies, and investors build bottom-up solutions to meet 2020 targets.
Participating businesses, entrepreneurs, finance and government leaders will have the opportunity to: 1. Develop new business opportunities and define the business of climate change 2. Meet, learn and network with other decision-makers, thought-leaders, agenda-setters, policy-influencers in business, finance, & governments. 3. Communicate and present existing and future solutions to stakeholders, including local and global media. 4. Matchmake and collaborate with businesses, investors and governments on implementing, scaling, financing, and replicating bottom-up solutions (e.g. Public Private Partnerships). 5. Influence the global economy from the bottom-up.
World Climate Summit is managed by World Climate Ltd: a private company dedicated to accelerate economic solutions to climate change. World Climate Ltd facilitates large-scale collaboration between businesses, financiers, philanthropists and governments on regional, local, and global solutions to climate change.
