corperation with:
Neil Bentley will speak about the role of the CBI both in the UK and internationally in influencing climate change policy pre-Copenhagen.
He will highlight what the CBI and UK business is doing to respond to climate change and promote a low carbon economy, the commercial advantage of doing so, and how the government and NGO community can facilitate greater action through the participation of private business and consumers.
Recently both National and Guangdong Provincial leaders have spoken of the need to pursue low carbon economic development strategies. This event will share UK experience of what those strategies may mean for business in south China and provide a valuable networking opportunity for those who have an interest in action on climate change and energy efficiency.
