Climate Change Summit
Client: Shell
We have worked closely with Shell to push the debate on how business needs to react
to climate change.
Shell was the lead sponsor of the Guardian’s Climate Change Summit in June, which
was attended by business leaders, NGOs and senior civil servants. An eight-page
supplement and microsite on guardian.co.uk followed, which covered business
issues around climate change and highlights of the summit. Finally, there was a
breakfast debate at the Guardian on the climate change bill and involvement of world
cities. Chaired by the Guardian’s industrial correspondent, Terry Macalister, the
debate was attended by key delegates from NGOs and government.
Shell has been very keen to show how it is engaging with business and government
to cut CO2 emissions and use new technologies to combat climate change. The whole
programme, challenging for an energy company, has stirred up a lot of interest and
controversy. It succeeded in highlighting the fact that all businesses need to act
now.
