About Us

Achim Steiner, Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme said of Climate Action at its launch;

"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."

Climate Action is a multimedia platform consisting of a website, newsletter and annual publication, produced in partnership with UNEP. It aims to encourage businesses and large organisations to reduce their carbon footprint, and puts forward the business case for climate change – namely, that environmentally responsible operations can also be profitable. It is produced by Green Media Ltd., which is part of the respected Henley Media Group.

Launched in Bali in 2007, enhanced for Poznan in 2008, the third edition of the Climate Action publication is being produced for COP 15, taking place in Copenhagen in December 2009. There will be a controlled distribution to over 30,000 key decision makers within business, government and institutional investment communities.

History

Climate Action came out of an initiative launched in 1998 – Sustainable Development International (SDI), a quarterly publication and accompanying website which provided senior decision makers in the public, private and intergovernmental sectors with sustainable development and corporate social responsibility reference resources. SDI worked closely with UNEP, and a formal partnership was agreed between Henley Media Group and UNEP in 2006, to develop the Climate Action platform.
