OUR SHARED VISION:
DELIVERING A BETTER WORLD
“We can create
lasting economic
growth while
also tackling the
immense risks of
climate change.”
- Calderon Report, Better Growth,
Better Climate, 2014
That’s what a growing number
of economists tell us, that’s what
many businesses are already
experiencing. The low-carbon
transition can create challenges
for several industrial sectors,
but a majority of businesses will
be winners through early action
towards a low-carbon economy.
Business has a major role to
play in meeting the climate
challenge.
Many companies have been
reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and adapting to climate
change. Solutions are diverse
from technologies to lifestyle
changes. Transforming the energy
systems is critical: new energy
sources, new technologies, energy
efficiency, smart grids, research
and development, etc. Building
climate smart cities and using land
wisely are further areas for action.
This must go faster to keep global
warming below 2°C.
Responding to the UN Secretary
General’s call for the private
sector to take an active role,
leaders of major businesses from
around the world have gathered
today at the Business & Climate
Summit in Paris. The Summit – the
cornerstone event of Climate Week
Paris – is a unique opportunity for
business and government leaders
to engage in a dialogue about the
best ways to deploy low-carbon
solutions at the right scale and
pace.
In 2010, at COP 16 in Cancun,
leaders of every country in the
world committed to establishing
a process for reviewing the
adequacy of the long-term global
goal – limiting warming below
2˚C. We – as business leaders –
must play our role and design our
business stratagies in line with the
science. The question is how
fast can we move? And what
long-term policy frameworks
do we need to accelerate this
transition.
How is carbon pricing best
enacted for various business
sectors? Only robust and
predictable carbon pricing will
drive investment in renewable
energy and low-carbon
technologies and assets.
How can we improve the CDM
to allow for win-win carbonneutral solutions for business and
developing countries? How will a
global, long-term goal in the Paris
agreement mobilise capital and
accelerate the transition to a lowcarbon economy?
Can we agree on a common
course of action? Debates should
be heated, conclusions decisive if
currently uncertain. The diversity
and strength of the partners
supporting the Summit already
indicates an appetite for success
and a push forward for climate
action.
Can we – an unprecedented
gathering of organisations
representing over six million
companies – agree to move
forward together and take bold
climate action that will help
deliver a better, stronger world
for all?

Opening Plenary: The Business
Climate Has Changed
Room I
The private sector now recognizes that the transition
to a low-carbon economy is the only way to secure
sustainable economic growth and prosperity for all.
More businesses and investors are committed to
taking bold climate action than at any time in history.
And the private sector is moving because doing so
minimises risk and maximises opportunity. In short,
taking climate action simply makes good business
sense. However, business solutions on climate are
not being scaled up fast enough. Governments have
an indispensable role in setting clear, long-term
policy frameworks that will send clear signals to
markets, unleash low-carbon investment and steer
the global economy on a growth and development
trajectory that keeps global warming below 2°C.
The We Mean Business report entitled “The Climate
Has Changed” illustrates that leading companies are
seeing an IRR of well over 20% on their low carbon
investments. It also highlights that consistent and
credible government policy signals are essential for a
greater number of businesses to unleash innovation,
secure economic growth – all while helping secure
sustainable energy for what will soon be 9 billion people.
What can we learn from the ‘first movers’? How can
governments create an enabling environments, which
allows for an ever-widening group of companies
to scale-up solutions? How can business and
government collaborate to create a bold, ambitious
low-carbon vision that ensures economic growth
while delivering a better, stronger world for all?

Thematic Sessions: Three
Pathways to a Better Economy
The New Climate Economy’s report “Better Growth,
Better Climate” identifies three areas which are
critical to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions:
energy, cities and land-use. What are the most
innovative solutions being deployed in each of these
three areas? What are the obstacles to scaling
up these solutions? Which policies can help drive
investment and catalyse the deployment of solutions
at scale?
TS #1: ENERGY
Room I
Achieving global net zero emissions well before the
end of the century requires a deep transformation of
all energy systems. How can we scale up renewable
energy and encourage companies to commit to
procure 100% of their electricity from renewable
sources in the shortest practical timescale? How
will we decarbonise the energy sector in a way that
ensures economic growth?

challenge, and are likely to be essential contributors
to the global goal of keeping temperature increase
to below 2°C. This session will explore emerging
opportunities to accelerate progress through
innovative infrastructure, technology, transportation &

Room I
In 2010 at COP 16 in Cancun, leaders of every
country in the world committed to establishing a
process for reviewing the adequacy of the long-term
global goal – limiting warming below 2˚C. AR5, the
IPCC’s latest synthesis report makes the emissions
trajectory to a 2˚C world very clear – and the route
gets steeper the longer we wait. Business is already
moving but we need government to send clear policy
signals so that we can accelerate the journey.
TS #3: FOOD, FOREST AND AGRICULTURE
Room IV
Rapid global population growth, urbanisation,
rising incomes and the aspirations of a booming
middle class are putting enormous pressure on
land and water resources used by agriculture and

Eye-Opener:
Making Low-Carbon Life Cool
Pas Perdu
The low-carbon movement has – so far – not truly
gripped the imagination of the public. Most people
are still unsure of what it means or how to engage.
Many still associate it with higher energy prices,
carbon taxes and unappealing frugality. Companies
need to step up and offer consumers options so
that low-carbon choices are seen as easier, cooler –
better.
How do we shift this narrative? How can we engage
citizens all around the world and encourage them
to see a low-carbon life-style as the smart choice of
today? How can we make the notion of ‘low-carbon’
accessible – even exciting – for people in developing
countries? A group of visionary speakers open a
debate about how companies can drive innovative
approaches to allow for an accessible low-carbon
lifestyle without compromise.

Plenary 3: Carbon Pricing:
A Critical Tool For Both Business
and Government
Room I
To meet the climate change challenge, we need
to change the way we make, use, source – and
value - energy. The current low price of oil is an
enormous opportunity to reduce fossil fuel subsidies
and introduce carbon pricing. Only robust and
predictable carbon pricing will drive investment in
renewable energy and low-carbon technologies and
assets. Pricing carbon is not a ‘silver bullet’ but it is a
vital tool, which individual countries can use to help
deliver their national contributions – and go even
further. Effective carbon pricing will also be good for
most companies: creating new markets, products
and services, generating employment, reducing
energy consumption and increasing energy savings.
How is carbon pricing best enacted for various
business sectors? How do we deal with
competitiveness in the face of different country
approaches? How can the revenue streams
generated by these pricing mechanisms provide
positive feedbacks?

Thematic Sessions: Smart Policies
To Catalyse Low-Carbon Action
More companies are taking bold climate action than
at any time in history. Based on this experience, the
private sector has identified three areas where smart
policies could help accelerate the transition to a
low-carbon world – and improve the quality of life for
citizens.
TS #4 HOW LOW CAN WE GO?
Room I
In the business world, there is a growing interest
in low consumption patterns, resource efficiency
and the circular economy. Policies that encourage
low-carbon production and consumption will be
important levers in the transition to a low-carbon
world. Participants will discuss the role of companies
and governments in shifting societal consumption
patterns to foster the use of resource efficient
products as well as the role of regulation and
standards in providing the platform to stimulate lowcarbon production and consumption. The session will
highlight the impact of voluntary actions to decouple
production and consumption of goods and services
from GHG emissions.
Speakers:
Jean-Louis Chaussade
CEO, Suez Environnement
Nialé Kaba
Minister of Economy and Finance, Côte d’Ivoire
José Lopez
EVP, Nestlé
TS #5: INNOVATION IS THE KEY
Room II
The solutions to dramatically reduce GHG emissions
already exist, today. But to reach the scale of change
necessary for net zero emissions, many more
processes, products and systems must be found
invented or improved. Policies are needed to help
identify, develop and drive investment in these lowcarbon solutions. In order to catalyse systems and
technology innovation, new partnerships should be
explored across the business value chain, between
government and business, and among investors and
innovators.

TS #6: WE MUST BUILD CAPACITY AND BE
RESILIENT
Room IV
No matter how fast we reduce emissions, we will still
need to make our communities and our businesses
more resilient. Policies can help building capacity
so that development is both resilient and lowcarbon. Companies are already facing the risks
and consequences of climate change and are
implementing new approaches. Insurance companies
are at the forefront of these challenges and feeling
the heat. Business and government all around the
world are rolling out adaptation strategies, but we
need policies that encourage more action from all.
What have we learnt and how can the international
agreement make a difference? What new approaches
can help build resilience? How can business and
government build capacity fast enough to address
climate change while still encouraging economic
growth?
Plenary 4: Financing the
Low-Carbon Economy
Room I
Addressing the challenges of climate change
requires mobilisation of investment flows: a massive
redirection in the energy sector, and 10 – 12%
more investment for energy efficiency in all sectors.
Innovative mechanisms to leverage public finance in
all economic sectors will be critical in developed and
developing countries. Scaling up investment in lowcarbon assets in developing countries will allow them
to leapfrog to climate friendly development, which
must become the new norm.
How can the climate agenda be incorporated into
the agenda for global economic growth? Are there
models for this? What are the roles of public and
private finance? What is the role of investment into
infrastructure? How can more funds be mobilised to
low carbon growth?

Plenary 5: Our Shared Vision:
Building the Paris Climate Alliance
Room I
Business has changed. A common understanding
of the risks of climate change is changing traditional
business strategies and investment patterns.
Business has solutions, will have more and stands
ready to scale them up. But the private sector needs
clear, long-term policy framework to help guide it.
Business is ready to work with government to help
design policies that will support both economic
growth and development. This collaborative effort
needs to ramp up now and continue well beyond
COP21. The UN Conference on Climate Change,
taking place 200 days from now, is not the ‘finish line’
– but a launch pad.
How could a global, long-term goal in the Paris
agreement mobilise capital globally and accelerate
the transition to a low carbon economy? How can
these two worlds collaborate to free up public funds
that could then leverage private financing? And how
can business work with government to grow the
economy and pursue development while limiting
global temperature rise to 2° Celsius?

ENTREPRISES POUR
L’ENVIRONNEMENT
(EpE), created in
1992, is an association
of around forty French and international large
companies from all sectors of the economy, who
want to make environmental considerations more a
part of both their long-term planning and their dayto-day management. We all share the same vision
of the environment as a source of opportunities
and progress, within a broad understanding of
‘environment’: raw materials, energy, climate
change, water, biodiversity, pollution, waste, etc.
We strongly believe that, just as players cannot
develop sustainably within a degraded environment,
real consideration for the environment is a source of
long-term value for businesses like ourselves. EpE
gives its members a forum for discussion, within the
business world itself, but also with NGOs, ministers,
politicians, scientists and academics. EpE is a
partner of the World Business Council for Sustainable
Development which unites many international
companies (with some common members with EpE).

formed by a global
group of business leaders to catalyze a better way of

driving action to meet a set of global Challenges
that underpin Plan B – by starting ‘at home’ in their
own companies, taking collective action to scale
solutions and using their voice where they can make
a difference. Leaders include Sir Richard Branson,
Kathy Calvin, Arianna Huffington, Dr. Gro Harlem
Brundtlandt, Dr. Mo Ibrahim, Guilherme Leal, Strive
Masiyiwa, Blake Mycoskie, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, etc.
