Adapting businesses to the demands of climate change mitigation is a huge challenge, but one that can not only improve levels of environmental impact, but also enhance brands, motivate employees, increase operational efficiencies, and save money.

In this Earthcast the authors of The Three Secrets of Green Business and Doing Business in a New Climate focus on the challenges and opportunities that climate change poses for businesses of all sizes.

 

It examines the challenges posed by measuring, reducing, and offsetting emissions and the innovative solutions to common challenges currently being employed by businesses across the world. Practical tips cover everything from the easy actions that will cut waste of materials, water and energy and save you money, to the big changes in processes, products and business models.

 



 


After Copenhagen - the Tactics and the Treaty

  • What is the nature of the agreement that emerged
    from COP-15?
  • What were the negotiating tactics behind it?
  • Can an ambitious and binding treaty still be agreed?


Broadcast on 27th January 2010,

ACCESS ARCHIVED VERSION

In the wake of the COP-15 summit in Copenhagen, the first Earthcast of 2010 examined the treaty that emerged, the negotiating tactics behind it, and what the next steps are likely to be.

Experts Michael Grubb, David Satterthwaite and Richard Smith dissected the agreement and asked whether future negotiations could establish a binding treaty that set ambitious limits for the large emitters while supporting developing nations financially and technologically.

Michael Grubb is editor-in-chief of the Earthscan journal Climate Policy, Chair of Climate Strategies and a Professor at the University of Cambridge.

David Satterthwaite has written or edited nine Earthscan books, including Adapting Cities to Climate Change and The Earthscan Reader in Sustainable Cities.

Richard Smith is the author of the Earthscan book Negotiating Environment and Science, published under the new Resources for the Future (RFF) Press imprint.

Tim Jackson developed the first Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare for the UK (a ‘green GDP’) in the 1990s, and is now one of the most influential advocates of worldwide economic reform.

This special pre-Copenhagen Earthcast examined the challenges that lie ahead if current economic systems are to support the development of a low carbon future.

Tim Jackson was joined by Robert Costanza, contributor to the Worldwatch Institute's The State of the World 2010 and ecological economist Peter Victor for a debate that explored ways of reorganising economies so that emissions reductions and well-being are prioritised.
