2. A changing climate for business and the community The science is in, the globe is warming, and we must both mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and rapidly prepare for adaptation to climate change.

3. A changing climate for business and the community The science is in, the globe is warming, and we must both mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and rapidly prepare for adaptation to climate change. A raft of immediately accessible and affordable solutions to reduce greenhouse emissions and provide alternative sources of energy are available today, and bring more and more business opportunity.

4. Global renewables 2008 and 2009 2008 - world invested more in total on renewable energy ($155 billion) than on traditional energy ($140 billion) Almost 50% of new generation built around the globe in 2009 was renewable energy - 80 GW of renewable power capacity built compared to 83 GW of fossil fuel plants China almost half of 2009 total with 37 GW of renewables – China now world's leader in renewable energy. Renewable sources in 2009 25% global electricity capacity 1,230 GW out of 4,800 GW total (all sources, including coal, gas, nuclear) In Australia renewable projects 24% - according to ABARE data 2010 early report $240 billion investment in 2010 Global Trends in Sustainable Energy Investment 2010, released on 15 July 2010 United Nations Environment Programme / Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century
