HELP US… decide who deserves the Climate Greenwash Award 2009
Which company has made the most outrageous claims to be acting to tackle climate change, while continuing to pollute as usual? Six companies have been nominated – now the public votes to decide who gets the award.
What’s the problem?
Business has promoted false solutions to the climate crisis in the past. At previous UN climate talks, business backed carbon trading and offsetting as the main ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions –allowing them to evade actual cuts. Now business wants a global carbon market, and financial support for so-called climate-friendly technologies – carbon capture and storage (CCS), nuclear energy and agrofuels. Corporations say we can carry on burning coal and oil – they will find ways to bury the problem. Governments are listening, but these false solutions will delay real carbon cuts. We need climate action now. Read more about the false solutions proposed by business.
Who’s behind the Business Summit?
The World Business Summit on Climate Change is organised by the Copenhagen Climate Council, Combat Climate Change (3C), World Economic Forum, UN Global Compact, the Climate Group and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). It is backed by the Danish Government, which has promised business influence at the December talks. Read more about the convenors of the Business Summit on Climate Change.
