New report from China/GlobalFOCUS: Low carbon opportunities in China: Report of Transformative Climate Youth Leadership Project
/
I have not read the whole report (and have not seen any draft), but I’m happy that the GlobalFOCUS team in China deliver results. Unfortunately it looks like there are no transformative solution companies in the report, instead there are chapters about the big emitters and the supply side companies for renewable energy (some of the companies on the renewable side have some interesting projects. Maybe the real report will be published after this traditional report?
Regardless, it will hopefully contribute to the discussion about transformative companies in China. The full report (88pages and 4.5 meg) can be downloaded here.

Sema Arora and the rest of the team at CII did a great job putting together the agenda for the 4th Sustainability Summit: Asia 2009 “Winning Strategies for a Sustainable World”, 25 – 26 November 2009: India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.

There are so many groundbreaking and world leading projects in India that hardly anyone outside India is aware of (and sometimes not very many people within India). I really hope to spend more time with Indian projects during 2010.
