Workshop « Climate Chance » :The responsibility of businesses and investors in terms of the climate challenge

Neetu Sharma, septiembre 2016

Many workshops took place there for 3 days including one, animated by Alliance for responsible and sustainable societies among others.

Presentation of the workshop:

The commitment made by economic stakeholders, investors and businesses is a crucial component of the fight against climate change, in particular through the deployment of CSR principles. However, will these voluntary commitments suffice to challenge the practices inherent to the process of economic and financial globalisation, which actively exacerbate climate change?
