“Caring for Climate: The Business Leadership Platform”, was launched by the UN Secretary-General at the Global Compact Leaders Summit in 2007. Caring for Climate is a voluntary global initiative that seeks to mobilize the business community to develop solutions that reduce climate risk, while at the same time create value for the company. The initiative is jointly developed by the Unites Nations Global Compact, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).

Caring for Climate helps companies to advance practical solutions, share experiences, inform public policy and shape public attitudes. When endorsing the initiative, chief executives are prepared to set goals, develop and expand strategies and practices, and publicly disclose emissions.
