“We can create lasting economic growth while also tackling the immense risks of climate change.”- Calderon Report, Better Growth, Better Climate, 2014

That’s what a growing number of economists tell us, that’s what many businesses are already experiencing. The low-carbon transition can create challenges for several industrial sectors, but a majority of businesses will be winners through early action towards a low-carbon economy.

Business has a major role to play in meeting the climate challenge.

Many companies have been reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change. Solutions are diverse from technologies to lifestyle changes. Transforming the energy systems is critical: new energy sources, new technologies, energy efficiency, smart grids, research and development, etc. Building climate smart cities and using land wisely are further areas for action. This must go faster to keep global warming below 2°C.

Responding to the UN Secretary General’s call for the private sector to take an active role, leaders of major businesses from around the world have gathered today at the Business & Climate Summit in Paris. The Summit – the cornerstone event of Climate Week

Paris – is a unique opportunity for business and government leaders to engage in a dialogue about the best ways to deploy low-carbon solutions at the right scale and pace.

In 2010, at COP 16 in Cancun, leaders of every country in the world committed to establishing a process for reviewing the adequacy of the long-term global goal – limiting warming below 2˚C. We – as business leaders – must play our role and design our business stratagies in line with the science. The question is how fast can we move? And what long-term policy frameworks do we need to accelerate this transition.

How is carbon pricing best enacted for various business sectors? Only robust and predictable carbon pricing will drive investment in renewable energy and low-carbon technologies and assets.

How can we improve the CDM to allow for win-win carbon-neutral solutions for business and developing countries? How will a global, long-term goal in the Paris agreement mobilise capital and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy?

Can we agree on a common course of action? Debates should be heated, conclusions decisive if currently uncertain. The diversity and strength of the partners supporting the Summit already indicates an appetite for success and a push forward for climate action.

Can we – an unprecedented gathering of organisations representing over six million companies – agree to move forward together and take bold climate action that will help deliver a better, stronger world for all?

OUR SHARED VISION: A better, stronger, low-carbon world12.00 - 13.45 // LOBBY

12.00 - 13.30 Welcome lunchPas Perdus

14.00 - 15.30 Opening Plenary: The Business Climate Has Changed Room I

The private sector now recognizes that the transition to a low-carbon economy is the only way to secure sustainable economic growth and prosperity for all. More businesses and investors are committed to taking bold climate action than at any time in history. And the private sector is moving because doing so minimises risk and maximises opportunity. In short, taking climate action simply makes good business sense. However, business solutions on climate are not being scaled up fast enough. Governments have an indispensable role in setting clear, long-term policy frameworks that will send clear signals to markets, unleash low-carbon investment and steer the global economy on a growth and development trajectory that keeps global warming below 2°C.

The We Mean Business report entitled “The Climate Has Changed” illustrates that leading companies are seeing an IRR of well over 20% on their low carbon investments. It also highlights that consistent and credible government policy signals are essential for a greater number of businesses to unleash innovation, secure economic growth – all while helping secure sustainable energy for what will soon be 9 billion people.

What can we learn from the ‘first movers’? How can governments create an enabling environments, which allows for an ever-widening group of companies to scale-up solutions? How can business and government collaborate to create a bold, ambitious low-carbon vision that ensures economic growth while delivering a better, stronger world for all?

16.00 - 17.30 Thematic Sessions: Three Pathways to a Better Economy The New Climate Economy’s report “Better Growth, Better Climate” identifies three areas which are critical to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions: energy, cities and land-use. What are the most innovative solutions being deployed in each of these three areas? What are the obstacles to scaling up these solutions? Which policies can help drive investment and catalyse the deployment of solutions at scale?

TS #1: ENERGYRoom I

Achieving global net zero emissions well before the end of the century requires a deep transformation of all energy systems. How can we scale up renewable energy and encourage companies to commit to procure 100% of their electricity from renewable sources in the shortest practical timescale? How will we decarbonise the energy sector in a way that ensures economic growth?Speakers:Daniel BenesChairman of the Board & CEO, CEZVidar HelgesenMinistry of European Economic Affairs & European Union Affairs, NorwayRudy ProvoostCEO, Rexel Christian Rynning-TønnesenCEO, StatkraftTulsi TantiChairman and Managing Director, SuzlonPhilippe VarinChairman of the Board, ArevaChallenger:Jean-Marc JancoviciPresident, The Shift ProjectModerator:Philippe JoubertSenior Adviser, WBCSD

TS #2: CITIES: INFRASTRUCTURE & BUILDINGS, TECHNOLOGY AND TRANSPORTATION Room XII

By 2050, significantly more than half the world’s population will live in cities. Cities are proving to be a crucial center of innovation in meeting the climate challenge, and are likely to be essential contributors to the global goal of keeping temperature increase to below 2°C. This session will explore emerging opportunities to accelerate progress through innovative infrastructure, technology, transportation & mobility – and policymaking as cities lead the way to low carbon prosperity.Speakers:Sandeep DadlaniEVP and Head of Americas, Infosys Xavier HuillardChairman and CEO, VinciGuillaume PepyChairman, SNCFJean-Dominique SenardGeneral Partner and CEO, MichelinMoncef ZianiExecutive Manager, CID Moderator:Aron CramerPresident & CEO, BSR

TS #3: FOOD, FOREST AND AGRICULTURERoom IV

Rapid global population growth, urbanisation, rising incomes and the aspirations of a booming middle class are putting enormous pressure on land and water resources used by agriculture and forests. In additon, how can we ask this sector to support the shift from fossil fuels to biomass without compromising biodiversity?

17.45 - 19.15Plenary 2: Mapping The Trajectory: How Fast Can We Go?Room I

In 2010 at COP 16 in Cancun, leaders of every country in the world committed to establishing a process for reviewing the adequacy of the long-term global goal – limiting warming below 2˚C. AR5, the IPCC’s latest synthesis report makes the emissions trajectory to a 2˚C world very clear – and the route gets steeper the longer we wait. Business is already moving but we need government to send clear policy signals so that we can accelerate the journey.• How are companies setting science-based targets

to unleash innovations and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy?

• What is the role of a long-term target and how should the target be formulated to influence business strategies?

• Which policies does business need from government in order to go further, faster?

• How can we help manage the transition for those who will find it most challenging?

08.15 - 9.15Eye-Opener: Making Low-Carbon Life CoolPas Perdus

The low-carbon movement has – so far – not truly gripped the imagination of the public. Most people are still unsure of what it means or how to engage. Many still associate it with higher energy prices, carbon taxes and unappealing frugality. Companies need to step up and offer consumers options so that low-carbon choices are seen as easier, cooler – better.

How do we shift this narrative? How can we engage citizens all around the world and encourage them to see a low-carbon life-style as the smart choice of today? How can we make the notion of ‘low-carbon’ accessible – even exciting – for people in developing countries? A group of visionary speakers open a debate about how companies can drive innovative approaches to allow for an accessible low-carbon lifestyle without compromise.

09.30 - 11.00 Plenary 3: Carbon Pricing: A Critical Tool For Both Business and GovernmentRoom I

To meet the climate change challenge, we need to change the way we make, use, source – and value - energy. The current low price of oil is an enormous opportunity to reduce fossil fuel subsidies and introduce carbon pricing. Only robust and predictable carbon pricing will drive investment in renewable energy and low-carbon technologies and assets. Pricing carbon is not a ‘silver bullet’ but it is a vital tool, which individual countries can use to help deliver their national contributions – and go even further. Effective carbon pricing will also be good for most companies: creating new markets, products and services, generating employment, reducing energy consumption and increasing energy savings.

How is carbon pricing best enacted for various business sectors? How do we deal with competitiveness in the face of different country approaches? How can the revenue streams generated by these pricing mechanisms provide positive feedbacks?

11.30 - 13.00 Thematic Sessions: Smart Policies To Catalyse Low-Carbon Action More companies are taking bold climate action than at any time in history. Based on this experience, the private sector has identified three areas where smart policies could help accelerate the transition to a low-carbon world – and improve the quality of life for citizens.

TS #4 HOW LOW CAN WE GO? Room I

In the business world, there is a growing interest in low consumption patterns, resource efficiency and the circular economy. Policies that encourage low-carbon production and consumption will be important levers in the transition to a low-carbon world. Participants will discuss the role of companies and governments in shifting societal consumption patterns to foster the use of resource efficient products as well as the role of regulation and standards in providing the platform to stimulate low-carbon production and consumption. The session will highlight the impact of voluntary actions to decouple production and consumption of goods and services from GHG emissions.

TS #5: INNOVATION IS THE KEYRoom II

The solutions to dramatically reduce GHG emissions already exist, today. But to reach the scale of change necessary for net zero emissions, many more processes, products and systems must be found invented or improved. Policies are needed to help identify, develop and drive investment in these low-carbon solutions. In order to catalyse systems and technology innovation, new partnerships should be explored across the business value chain, between government and business, and among investors and innovators.

TS #6: WE MUST BUILD CAPACITY AND BE RESILIENT Room IV

No matter how fast we reduce emissions, we will still need to make our communities and our businesses more resilient. Policies can help building capacity so that development is both resilient and low-carbon. Companies are already facing the risks and consequences of climate change and are implementing new approaches. Insurance companies are at the forefront of these challenges and feeling the heat. Business and government all around the world are rolling out adaptation strategies, but we need policies that encourage more action from all.

What have we learnt and how can the international agreement make a difference? What new approaches can help build resilience? How can business and government build capacity fast enough to address climate change while still encouraging economic growth?

13.00 - 14.30LunchPas Perdus

14.30 - 16.00Plenary 4: Financing the Low-Carbon EconomyRoom I

Addressing the challenges of climate change requires mobilisation of investment flows: a massive redirection in the energy sector, and 10 – 12% more investment for energy efficiency in all sectors. Innovative mechanisms to leverage public finance in all economic sectors will be critical in developed and developing countries. Scaling up investment in low-carbon assets in developing countries will allow them to leapfrog to climate friendly development, which must become the new norm.

How can the climate agenda be incorporated into the agenda for global economic growth? Are there models for this? What are the roles of public and private finance? What is the role of investment into infrastructure? How can more funds be mobilised to low carbon growth?

16.00 - 17.30Plenary 5: Our Shared Vision: Building the Paris Climate AllianceRoom I

Business has changed. A common understanding of the risks of climate change is changing traditional business strategies and investment patterns. Business has solutions, will have more and stands ready to scale them up. But the private sector needs clear, long-term policy framework to help guide it. Business is ready to work with government to help design policies that will support both economic growth and development. This collaborative effort needs to ramp up now and continue well beyond COP21. The UN Conference on Climate Change, taking place 200 days from now, is not the ‘finish line’ – but a launch pad.

How could a global, long-term goal in the Paris agreement mobilise capital globally and accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy? How can these two worlds collaborate to free up public funds that could then leverage private financing? And how can business work with government to grow the economy and pursue development while limiting global temperature rise to 2° Celsius?

ENTREPRISES POUR L’ENVIRONNEMENT (EpE), created in 1992, is an association

of around forty French and international large companies from all sectors of the economy, who want to make environmental considerations more a part of both their long-term planning and their day-to-day management. We all share the same vision of the environment as a source of opportunities and progress, within a broad understanding of ‘environment’: raw materials, energy, climate change, water, biodiversity, pollution, waste, etc. We strongly believe that, just as players cannot develop sustainably within a degraded environment, real consideration for the environment is a source of long-term value for businesses like ourselves. EpE gives its members a forum for discussion, within the business world itself, but also with NGOs, ministers, politicians, scientists and academics. EpE is a partner of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development which unites many international companies (with some common members with EpE).Website: www.epe-asso.orgTwitter: @epe_asso

THE B TEAM is a not-for-profit initiative formed by a global

group of business leaders to catalyze a better way of doing business for the wellbeing of people and the planet. Founded in the belief that the private sector can, and must, redefine both its responsibilities and its own terms of success, The B Team is developing a ‘Plan B’ - for concerted, positive action that will ensure business becomes a driving force for social, environmental and economic benefit. Plan A - where business has been motivated primarily by profit - is no longer an option. The B Team is focused on driving action to meet a set of global Challenges that underpin Plan B – by starting ‘at home’ in their own companies, taking collective action to scale solutions and using their voice where they can make a difference. Leaders include Sir Richard Branson, Kathy Calvin, Arianna Huffington, Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtlandt, Dr. Mo Ibrahim, Guilherme Leal, Strive Masiyiwa, Blake Mycoskie, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, etc.Website: www.bteam.org/ Twitter: @thebteamhq
