The Poznan Communiqué on Climate Change (12/2008)

PUBLISHED: Poznan Communiqué � Energetics joins calls for urgent targets to stablise emissions.

Westpac, NAB and Mirvac sign on to Poznan communiqué
Westpac, NAB, Mirvac, Lend Lease, Energetics, Insurance Australia Group and Environment Business Australia are among the Australian signatories to an international Poznan communiqué urging negotiators to agree to science-guided targets to stabilise emissions below critical thresholds.

"Even an immediate peaking in global emissions would require a subsequent reduction of 50% to 85% by 2050," it says.

"And the later the peak in emissions, the greater and costlier the required reduction."
The communiqué was coordinated by the Prince of Wales' Corporate Leaders Group on Climate Change.
