16 September 2014 – A landmark piece of research that promises to turn the dialogue on the opportunity presented by climate change has been launched today.
The New Climate Economy report provides the data for, and a new energy behind, a collaboration for action by clearly showing that growth and climate action are not incompatible. Climate action is no longer a leap in the dark, and this report offers yet another level for business and policy to confidently move forward on this agenda.
Quotes from We Mean Business
"The good news is that economic growth and action on climate are not incompatible. On the contrary, there are myriad possibilities for all sectors to get involved in driving low-carbon growth and economic transformation. But we must not wait: the longer we leave it, the higher the costs. Governments and business must act together to ensure the decisions we make today are the right ones to deliver a safe and sustainable future for all."
