COP15 United Nations Climate Change Conference
7 December to 18 December 2009
Key members of ERM's Sustainability and Climate Change Practice are attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 (COP15) from December 7-18.
ERM's internationally recognised climate change expert Lee Solsbery will be there on behalf of ERM and as a Board Member of the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) Board Member. He says: “The Copenhagen event this December is about setting the framework for the successor to the Kyoto Protocol, not only in terms of targets but also increasing the number of countries signed up to it. We will be attending as our job is to identify and disseminate what this will mean for our clients.
"By the end of 2010, we expect there to be clarity around the targets to be met, mechanisms that need to be in place, actions needed to minimise impact on the bottom line and how the less developed countries can be assisted to be part of the process. More clarity is needed across markets and agreement on outcomes from countries such as the US which along with many other countries, will not sign onto post-2012 targets unless the issue of international competitiveness is dealt with in setting new GHG targets."
“ERM can help business recognize the risks and cope with the impacts of climate change be they carbon emissions reduction or adaptation, as well as opportunities in the market place bringing value to emission reduction projects and managing climate change risk.”
