“Industry is a driver of innovation for global climate protection”

The G20 should boost the innovative strength of industry and accelerate technology development, so that it can “make its maximum contribution to climate protection,” writes Kurt Bock, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors and CEO of BASF, and Chairman of the Business-20 (B20) Taskforce on Energy, Climate & Resource Efficiency in a guest blog for International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). Bock says that his business, the chemical industry, contributed to “saving energy, avoiding emissions and therefore to achieving the greenhouse gas reduction targets,” and calls for “fair competitive conditions and a global approach to regulation.”
