[01] Dimas addresses Money Conference
European Union Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas believes that the
simultaneous handling of the unfavourable economic crisis and of the
climatic crisis threatening the economy is required, according to his
recorded address to the "CEO&CSR Money Conference 2009 - Businesses and
State forge the green New Deal" conference.
The conference was organised for the 3rd consecutive year by Money
Conferences in exclusive cooperation with EuroCharity and took place in
a downtown Athens hotel on Thursday.
Dimas believes that a new economic model for low carbon dioxide
emissions is necessary and referred to "the positive messages" the
European Commission is receiving from the new U.S. administration, as
well as to the positive dialogue taking place with China, a delegation
of which arrived in Brussels on Thursday for high-level talks.
Dimas appeared optimistic over a new global agreement being reached in
Copenhagen in December which will replace the Kyoto Protocol and
stressed that the participation of businesses in the "CEO&CSR Money
Conference 2009-Businesses and State forge green New Deal" conference
means they have received the message that they must include the
requirements of the low carbon dioxide emissions economy in their
planning.
