A group of the world’s leading entrepreneurs headed up by Sir Richard Branson believe that market-based solutions can be found to the global problem of climate change. So passionate are they about the contribution global industry can play in this crucial arena that they have formed a separate organisation they believe can start forcing change. The Carbon War Room has been set up with the primary objective of identifying those barriers that are preventing market-based scale up of climate change solutions and thereby perpetuating the status quo.
But it is in the area of shipping where the Carbon War Room founders believe serious change can be made. By bringing together best practice and accelerating information flow throughout the industry, greater efficiencies and savings can be seen, it believes, while also serving to save the planet from excess green house gas emissions.
