Many positive business news

I've just attended a very informative and positive side-event organized by Businesseurope. The topic was "A successful international agreement - contributions and expectations from European business" and what a line-up on stage (from left to right):

Jos Delbeke, European Commission Deputy Director-General for the Environment
Maud Olofsson, Swedish vice Prime Minister
Ulla Hamilton, Deputy Mayor of Stockholm
Nick Campbell, Chairman of the ICC Climate Change Task Force
Philippe de Buck, Director-Genreal of Businesseurope and
Hans Stråberg, CEO Electrolux

The gave a unified view that climate change must and can be tackled by business regardless of the outcome in Copenhaguen, although the also agreed that we all would benefit by a strong agreement. Which Maud Olofsson definitely thought was possible.

The very skilled team here from Svenskt Näringliv (lead by Birgitta Resvik) had also carried out the impossible task of negotiating some extra secondary badges which will enable me to continue to report from COP15. At least for another two days. After that I think we will have to give priority to Obama et al.
Stay tuned.
