Key discussion questions to be addressed.- * What role are shareholders playing in encouraging US businesses to take proactive steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions? * How might federal climate change legislation, if passed, impact businesses and investors? * Now that the Kyoto Protocol has entered into force, how might it impact investment in US companies? * What polices/practices are businesses implementing to address shareholder concern? Last year, American Electric Power, Cinergy, and TXU all issued climate risk reports in response to shareholder filings. The 2005 Institutional Investor Summit on Climate Risk was held in May at the United Nations headquarters in New York, and investors at the summit pledged to invest $1 billion in clean energy technologies. This is one investor-led effort to help manage the risks associated with climate change through strategic investing that can lead to greater prosperity and sustainability. This briefing is open to the public and no reservations are required. Please feel -free to forward this notice.
