The Copenhagen Communiqué on Climate Change, which Enviros has signed up to, was launched globally this week.
The global media launch of The Copenhagen Communiqué was timed to coincide with the UN Summit on Climate Change which took place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York the same day. A copy of The Copenhagen Communiqué was handed at lunchtime to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and distributed to more than 100 Heads of State and Governments attending the summit.
The Communique calls for world leaders to agree an ambitious, robust and equitable global deal on climate change that responds credibly to the scale and urgency of the crisis facing the world today. They warn that business will suffer if a credible deal is not reached at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen this December.
In just two pages, the Communiqué sets out the business case for a strong and effective UN climate framework and offers a progressive global consensus on the shape of an agreement.
The Copenhagen Communiqué has already secured the support of companies based in over 50 countries.
A copy of The Copenhagen Communique and the list of companies who have endorsed it are available at www.copenhagencommunique.com.
