Until recently, the stability of its composition has been something we have taken for granted.

The climate change conference in Copenhagen ended without a binding global agreement on curbing greenhouse gas emissions.

So, if governments cannot agree on measures to mitigate climate change, who then will provide the incentives and initiatives and perhaps more importantly the finances, that are needed? A growing number of leaders are beginning to look to the private sector to provide solutions. With regard to climate change, is it business to the rescue?

Sustainable Development and its possibilities, challenges and demands, has been on the agenda of the international business community for the past two decades. Since 1995, the World Business Council on Sustainable Development – a 200-member coalition of major businesses – has taken the lead in putting the business case for sustainable development.

This month’s Comment Visions talks to the Council’s President, Bjorn Stigson. Formerly a business executive in his native Sweden, Bjorn has spent the last decade based in Geneva bringing CEO’s of some of the world’s leading companies together to formulate and advocate the business response to the challenges of sustainable development.
