Caring for Climate

“Caring For Climate” is an international initiative, launched by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in 2007, aimed at advancing the role of business in addressing climate change. The initiative places a strong emphasis on enhancing the role of business in finding strategic solutions to adapt to the impacts of climate change on development i.e. on peace and security, water sustainability, poverty reduction, energy and food security. Caring for Climate is endorsed by nearly 350 companies from 65 countries. The initiative is jointly convened by the United Nations Global Compact, the United Nations Environment Programme, and the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
