B4E Climate Summit 2012 - London
NET ZERO. CLIMATE POSITIVE.

The urgency of the global climate challenge demands ambitious goals and bold, coordinated action. The B4E Climate Summit 2012, themed “Net Zero, Climate positive”, will present growth strategies of leading global businesses committed to net zero carbon emissions and the most cutting edge innovations for climate positive impact. Business leaders will share their plans to sequester more carbon than they emit, organise more renewable energy generation than energy consumed and new business models and services that deliver customer carbon savings.

High-level working groups will bring together leaders from business, government and NGOs to commit to the collective action within sectors and define the policy changes needed to enable industry-wide transformation. Outcomes of the Summit discussions will be delivered to climate negotiators at the UNFCCC COP18 in Doha, Qatar.
