Joint Statement of the Ru mess Environmental
Leadership Council
Our country has a long and proud tradto of coming together to respond to
challenges that affect our nation's eco iomic security, health or quality of life. Today,
as we approach the millennium, we bt lieve that one of our most serious challenges at
home and abroad will be addressing g obal climate change as we work to sustain a
growing global economy.
Our companies recognize that the risk; and complexities of climate change are so
important that we must work together tomeet this challenge. We support efforts to
bring together the ingenuity and expeence of all sectors of our society -- private,
public, and non-governmental organ tos to address this issue in a constructive
way. We also believe that the respone must be cost effective, global, and equitable,
and allow for economic growth based on free market principles.
It is in this context that each of our co npanics has decided to participate in a new
initiative, the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, as members of its Business
Environmental Leadership Council.
We begin this important effort unit d in several beliefs:
First, we accept the views ofmost scientists that enough is known about the
Science and environmental i placts of climate change for us to take actions to
address its consequences.
Second, businesses can and!Ihould take concrete steps now in the U.S. and
Abroad to assess opportunities for emission reductions, establish and meet
Emission reduction objectiv( s, and invest in new, more efficient products,
practices and technologies.
Third, the Kyoto agreement~ represents a first step in the international
Process, but more must be done both to implement the market-based
Mechanisms that were adopt ed in principle in Kyoto and to more fully
Involve the rest of the world in the solution.
Fourth, we can make si atprogress in addressing climate change and
Sustaining economic growif in the United States by adopting reasonable
policies, programs and transition strategies.
Advancing theA
debate through TePew Center on Global Climate Change will add a constructive, positive and
credible analysis pragmatic voice to the public debate $mthis important issue. We look forward to
and cooperative working with the Center and everyone interested in a constructive dialogue on the
approaches. issue of global climate change.
