The state of responsible competitiveness 2007: making sustainable development count in global markets

Link

The first section includes two chapters on the Responsible Competitiveness Index (CRI). The first paper argues that responsible competitiveness is partly delivered by market forces but requires global rules to ensure sustainable development. The following section discusses strategies for shifting to a low-carbon market. The authors argue that the abatement costs are lowest if firms act early on combating greenhouse gas emissions. The second article in this section provides guidance for businesses on reducing emissions with the final article proposing the development of a global carbon fund.
