Solving the global climate challenge will require a dramatic shift to transformative action moving beyond incremental change and reductions. A new clean industrial revolution has begun, with many of the world's most progressive companies already implementing ambitious zero-based targets and closed-loop strategies for their business.

Themed "Reaching for Zero: Innovation, growth and the clean industrial revolution", the B4E Climate Summit 2011 will gather thought leaders from industry, government and NGOs to share innovations and strategies for achieving zero-based targets and transformative climate solutions. Discussions will explore new technologies and business models that leading companies have established, as well as the necessary support and infrastructure needed to accelerate solutions towards the vision of a zero footprint future. The outcome of the Summit discussions will provide valuable input to COP 17, Rio+ and other global processes.
