The private sector is the major source of innovation, technology and investments that can transform the global energy system.
Climate Action, Sustainable Development Division / Henley Media Group
The Sustainable Development division of Henley Media Group has been providing senior decision makers in the public, private and intergovernmental sectors with sustainable development and corporate social responsibility reference resources since 1998. We recognise that companies in a global economy need to keep abreast of the international sustainable development agenda, and to communicate to governments, stakeholders, partners and shareholders how they are prioritising environmental, social and economic considerations through effective CSR practice. The Sustainable Development International publication and accompanying website, established a reputation as leading Business-to-Business and Business-to-Government print and online resources supporting the business case for sustainable development.
In 2005 the Sustainable Development Division acquired International Aid + Trade - an international event, publication and website exploring humanitarian relief challenges and delivering relief solutions to aid agencies and governments across the world. With many of today's natural disasters being attributed to climate change, we began to increasingly consider the impact of business on global warming and to look at ways to mitigate this.
Through Aid + Trade, Sustainable Development International and our contract publishing division, Henley Media Group has worked with an extensive number of UN Agencies, NGOs, governments and multinational corporations. We have produced publications in association with a raft of organisations including the Commonwealth Secretariat, the Governments of Canada and South Africa, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, the WWF, the World Customs Organisation and the Global Reporting Initiative.
Henley Media Group is proud to be partnering with the United Nations Environment Programme to run Climate Action.
UN Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme, Achim steiner, says of Climate Action:
“I am pleased to confirm that the United Nations Environment Programme is working in partnership with Sustainable Development International to produce Climate Action."This book and accompanying website will encourage and assist governments and business to lower greenhouse gas emissions, while also informing them how they can adapt to the impacts of climate change. With articles and features by authoritative authors from governments, intergovernmental organisations, civil society and the private sector, the book will include practical 'Actions' - steps that companies and governments can take to reduce their carbon footprint.
"Climate Action will promote stakeholder dialogue between government and industry, and highlight the sharing of best practice, and new technologies and initiatives. It will also raise awareness of the latest market trends, threats and opportunities in response to climate change.
"Distributed widely to governments, think-tanks, environmental organisations, businesses, fund managers and business associations, Climate Action will be particularly valuable in highlighting the widespread benefits to society which will derive from reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
"I encourage you to support this most timely and important initiative.”
