The World is Changing
Irrespective of any particular belief, even the precise cause, no one but the very young or those without
their faculties can be in any doubt that the worlds climate has changed. It has changed so dramatically
that it is noticeable within half a lifetime and little knowledge of science.
Successive leaders of most
countries around the world have recognised this change publicly. Through the UNs' Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988. After nearly 10 years study agreeing on 11 December 1997 in Kyoto, Japan more
had to be done to curtail any affect man may be having on the climate. Many countries signed up, including
Australia. Ten years after that, in December 2007, Australia ratified its' commitment to the Kyoto protocol
and the reduction of emissions from carbon dioxide and other harmful gases within the protocol.
There are now a significant number of people around the world creating what will be a 'Global Deal'. This agreement
will put in place formal mechanisms for international Carbon Trading thus creating a Global Carbon Economy.
The World is changing and it would be folly to ignore this rather than getting on the front foot. Leading by creating
new industries that hold the keys to new jobs, replacing jobs of the previous industries that will undoubtedly
decline and die.
It Will Be Essential for Businesses to Change
Given the facts above, a tax will need to be implemented for every business emitting carbon dioxide as a means
of causing and paying for emission reductions.
Whilst changes to tax law are not new for business neither is 'change'. Economic change, technological
change and 'social responsibility' changes have all happened in the past and will do so again. In the
case of the Carbon Economy it will be essential for Businesses to change in all three aspects
concurrently.
Unguarded this could break or, more beneficially, make a business. CarbOn20
is here to manage these changes to the benefit of the businesses.
