Climate, Energy and Water Readings

There is consensus world-wide that future global average surface temperature increases must be limited to 2oC. This will require deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions globally with the business sector bearing the brunt. The World Business Council on Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has published tools to assist business in this regard. The NBI, the regional partner of the WBCSD, downloaded some of these tools for easy access by its member companies. These tools are meant to provide useful information for companies as they prepare corporate strategies on carbon management and address the challenges presented by climate change and energy requirements. Some of the reports provide best practices that may benefit many companies.

All reports are in .pdf format.
