C2ES (formerly the Pew Center on Global Climate Change) has worked closely with NGOs (internationally and in the US), research institutes, IGOs and businesses.
C2ES's Business Environmental Leadership Council (BELC) was created in 1998 with the belief that business engagement is critical for developing efficient, effective solutions to the climate problem. We also believe that companies taking early action on climate strategies and policy will gain sustained competitive advantage over their peers.
Starting with 13 companies, the BELC is now the largest U.S.-based group of corporations focused on addressing the challenges of climate change and supporting mandatory climate policy. The BELC includes more than 40 mainly Fortune 500 companies with combined revenues of over $2 trillion and over 4 million employees. Many different sectors are represented, from high technology to diversified manufacturing; from oil and gas to transportation; from utilities to chemicals.
While individual companies hold their own views on policy specifics, they are united with C2ES in the belief that voluntary action alone will not be enough to address the climate challenge. For more details please visit: http://www.c2es.org/belc
The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (at the time named the Pew Center on Global Climate Change) was a founding member of the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) — an unprecedented alliance of 22 major businesses and 5 non-governmental organizations. This diverse group of business and environmental leaders came together to call for mandatory action to address climate change. Some of the members are: AES, Alcoa, Duke Energy, NRG, PepsiCo, World Resources Insitute, NRDC, the Nature Conservancy, Environmental Defense Fund, shell, Rio Tino etc.
C2ES is also part of various other initiatives including workinig closely with World Resources Institute, Georgetown Climate Center, Great Plain Institute and PACE Energy to name a few.
Internationally we have worked closely with TERI (India), Tsinghua University (China), and regularly work with internationally established academics on our various publications. For more details please visit: www.c2es.org |
