Accelerating Solutions Through Partnership and Innovation

4 & 5 October 2010, Expo Bancomer, Santa Fe, Mexico City AGENDA Accelerating solutions through partnership and innovation

B4E, Business for the Environment, is the world’s leading international conference for dialogue and business-driven action for the environment. A special B4E Summit on Climate Change will be held in Mexico City on 4 & 5 October, held in partnership with UNEP, the UN Global Compact, WWF and the government of Mexico. Entitled “Accelerating solutions through partnership and innovation”, the Summit will focus on transformative climate solutions to address the mounting climate and inter-related environmental issues — turning crises into opportunity. The summit will highlight what companies are doing and what more they can do to accelerate and deliver solutions for a low carbon future. Demonstrating how companies are transforming the way they operate to address today’s climate challenges, the conference will link with and produce a policy message from global business leaders with policy recommendations for climate action ahead of the COP 16 in Cancun.
