How Business Can Participate In COP21

The guide outlines three primary strategies for business engagement during COP21: educating leaders on climate science and policy, making public climate commitments through platforms like the Lima-Paris Action Agenda and the We Mean Business 'Take Action' campaign, and participating in onsite networking and events in Paris. It highlights specific tools for tracking commitments, such as NAZCA, and lists various side events and hubs, including the 'Open to Business' hub, designed to facilitate business-led climate action.

• BSR recommends three primary methods for business engagement at COP21: learning about the stakes of climate change, making and sharing ambitious climate commitments, and attending the event in Paris for networking and discussion.
• Companies can register their climate actions and commitments through the NAZCA online tool, which supports the Lima-Paris Action Agenda and the We Mean Business 'Take Action' campaign.
• The We Mean Business coalition has engaged over 400 companies and investors to pursue ambitious climate action, including targets for science-based emissions reductions and 100 percent renewable electricity procurement.
• Various business-focused hubs and events are organized around COP21 in Paris, including the 'Open to Business' networking hub and specific sessions on methane emissions from oil and gas and sustainable agriculture.
