Environmental Business Journal
Climate Change & Clean Energy
(Vol.XVII No.5/6 2004)




Published July 2004


Many large businesses and industrial nations are actively involved in reducing GHG emissions. Investors are becoming more aware of the consequences of ignoring the issue, and increasingly interested in clean technologies. Yet the absence of regulations is still holding some companies back, as is the high cost of integrating GHG-reduction measures. How are environmental businesses benefiting from this situation? This issue reveals the opportunities emerging from climate change-related activities including GHG emission control, carbon trading, renewable energy, and energy efficiency.
