Industry, Academia, NGOs and
Government Entities are increasingly realizing the
importance and value in partnering with one another to
address a broad spectrum of issues related to climate
change. These partnerships, whether focused on developing
clean energy or energy efficiency measures, addressing water
consumption, reducing GHG emissions, or adaptation to
climate change impacts, can achieve significant results and
improve the organization’s bottom line results.
On March 23, 2010, ACCO and BNA invite you to a discussion
on partnerships between organizations across sectors
featuring insights from an expert panel that includes a
former California Secretary of Environmental Protection, a
former Director of Sustainability for the City of Seattle
and case studies from Waste Management. Our panelists will
discuss:
- Key drivers behind
partnerships;
- Best practices in
designing programs (along with implementation and
establishing benchmarking);
- Specific examples/case
studies of partnerships; and
- Opportunities for future
collaborations.

2:00pm - 6:00pm

Investors, stakeholders,
partners and consumers are increasingly demanding
comprehensive information related to the business impacts of
climate change on publicly traded companies. Groups such as
the Carbon Disclosure Project, Trucost and Ceres have seen a
significant increase in the number of organizations who are
detailing these impacts and the quality of their
disclosures, but experts acknowledge that there remain
numerous companies that are not disclosing at all, and
others who are not disclosing enough.
ACCO, the Center for Climate Action and the
Carbon Disclosure Project invite you to series of case
studies and discussions on developing a sound process for
assessing and disclosing business impacts related to climate
change. This half-day workshop is being hosted in
conjunction with the
Navigating the American Carbon World
conference at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis.

Change Leadership Series
Climate Change: What's Your Business Strategy |
University of Michigan, Ann
Arbor, Michigan |
May 17-18, 2010 |

Climate change is a market shift
that every organization must address. Within a year, it is
likely that there will be a policy setting a price for
carbon at the federal level. This eventuality, combined with
recent shifts in state and international policy and
investor, consumer and employee market factors, makes it
imperative that companies address climate change issues and
opportunities now. This course is being developed by faculty
from the University of Michigan’s nationally recognized
Erb Institute for Global Sustainable
Enterprise in conjunction with the Association of
Climate Change Officers. The course will draw upon a rich
pool of talent expertise that resides in both institutions.
