Business Design Centre, London, UK

Climate change is rarely out of the news, but increased awareness has brought mixed messages, confusion and the risk of fatigue. Leading businesses are striving to deliver a clear message and engage with employees, customers, NGO’s and the government. Now is the time for collaboration – a coming together of stakeholders in order to maximize sustainability and minimize environmental impact now and in an uncertain future.

This is the focus for the Guardian Climate Change Summit 2008, a must-attend for senior executives looking to continue the fight against climate change.

Confirmed speakers include:

Gordon Brown, UK Prime Minister

Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP, secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs

Steve Howard, chief executive, The Climate Group

Dr R K Pachauri, chair, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

Jonathon Porrit, founder-director, Forum for the Future and chair, Sustainable Development Commission
