Copenhagen was a significant milestone in a longer journey.  The global transition to a low carbon economy has begun and is gathering pace.   Copenhagen highlighted that with the commitment by every country to reduce emissions.  For the first time in history there was consensus of the science, consensus of the need for a global agreement and consensus by business that immediate action was necessary. 

So what does that all mean and will the Copenhagen Accord be strong enough?  What other action is needed to curb global temperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius?

With a .09 degree increase in temperature across Australia over the last decade, we are well on our way to being one of the countries to be hardest hit by climate change in the world.  Do we want a land constantly ravaged by drought, fire, dust storms, flood, cyclones and storms? Or will we harness the opportunity and build a robust green economy?

Copenhagen showed what was possible.  Around the world progressive businesses and communities are positioning themselves ahead of the curve. Companies such as Coca-Cola, Google, Intel, IBM, Microsoft, Siemens, Dow, HP, Pacific Gas & Electricity, Duke Energy, Goldman Sachs, Chevron, Veolia, BP, Phillips, Whirlpool, GE, Vestas all participated at Copenhagen.  Business stood beside leading local and state governments. Many showcased leadership and commitment to action. Even leading academic institutes such as Yale participated.  

There were over 1000 side events and exhibitions providing the latest thought leadership and technologies. Let us save you thousands of dollars and weeks of your time by providing you a snap shot of the key learning's from the world's largest environmental conference in the world. Join UNFCCC COP 15 delegates from around the country at an event near you...
