DAVOS FORUM: BAN AGAIN URGES BUSINESS TO PLAY ITS PART IN TACKLING
CLIMATE CHANGENew York, Jan 24 2014 1:00PMSecretary-General Ban
Ki-moon kept up the drumbeat for business to play its full part in
tackling climate change and promoting sustainable development for a
second day today, telling the World Economic Forum in Davos that
investments now will generate major savings for tomorrow.

"The finance community is a key player. We need trillions of dollars
of investment to move from the brown to the green economy," the United
Nations chief <"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7427">told
a session on Climate, Growth and Development, citing four areas for
action.

"First, we need investors, banks and other financial service providers
to increase finance flows into low-carbon energy and climate-resilient
infrastructure, including through setting portfolio targets and
increasing the deployment of climate bonds. Second, we need to
decrease the flow of finance to carbon-intensive and obsolete
technologies and business practices.

"Third, investors and banks should work to increase transparency
regarding greenhouse gas emissions from the assets and businesses that
they finance. Finally, investors and banks and regulators should work
together to ensure that rules that govern financial markets are
conducive to sustainable development."

As he did yesterday at several events on the margins of the Forum, Mr.
Ban stressed that the summit on climate change that he is convening at
UN Headquarters in New York in September will be an opportunity for
global leaders from Government, business, finance, and civil society
to initiate ambitious joint actions on the ground to reduce emissions
and strengthen climate resilience, mobilizing the political will for a
meaningful global legal climate accord by 2015, when States parties to
the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will meet in
Paris.

He highlighted the interdependence between sustainable development
based on a low-carbon economy and climate change generated by
high-carbon global warming emission.

"Addressing climate change is also a great opportunity to support all
our sustainable development goals. At the same time, the actions we
take on sustainable development can help tackle climate change," he
stressed.

"Investment now will result in major savings in the future, and can
propel economic growth today. It can support universal energy access,
sustainable cities and well-being for people and the planet."

At a Forum session on Catalyzing Green Investment Mr. Ban
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7428">told business
leaders the September summit "is your opportunity to show what you can
and will do, and to work with governments at the highest level to
address climate change."

He underscored the essential role private investment has to play in
meeting the growing demand for energy in the developing world. "We
need in particular to win over institutional investors that
collectively manage more than 70 trillion Euros of assets," he said.

"The bulk of these investments are high-carbon assets. These investors
have the power – and I believe the responsibility -- to help transform
the global economy."

He also highlighted the importance of the Green Climate Fund, agreed
on in 2010 by States Parties to the UNFCCC as a financial mechanism
for promoting a shift towards low-emission and climate-resilient
development pathways by providing support to developing countries.

"The Fund cannot be the exclusive conduit for climate finance, but it
will be an important part of a public-private framework that supports
low-carbon investment and fair access to climate financing in
developing countries," he said. "We need to bring it into operation as
soon as possible.

"We need more public finance, more private finance and better
mechanisms for channelling investments to where they are most needed.
I urge public and private actors to rise to the challenge in the
coming months and rally around a key number of concrete
action-oriented solutions for the climate summit."Jan 24 2014 1:00PM
