What We Do
What We Do
The area of climate change is constantly evolving with rapid changes due to policy and market developments. In today´s global economy, changes in- around the world are often felt right here at home. Policies in other countries - or the lack thereof - can affect the competitiveness of national industries. This in turn affects the political acceptability of domestic action.
In the midst of this myriad of dynamic and interrelated issues, it is not always easy to stay up to date with developments and to understand their potential impacts. Understanding what is ahead and how to influence developments to minimise risks and maximise opportunities is of vital importance for governments, companies and NGOs alike.
In developing and implementing successful climate change policies, bringing together different stakeholder perspectives is crucial. Companies need to understand the impacts of climate policies on their strategic and operational decision-making. At the same time, policy makers need to understand corporate practices in order to design effective policies. PCCC strives to bring these perspectives together to facilitate a more effective approach to tackling climate change.

Once again, on behalf of the AFD team, I would like to congratulate the consulting team for the thorough analysis carried out and for the consultative methodology employed.
I hope we may work together again in the future.

This is a very good report. I personally like it as It equipped me with new impressive knowledge on Voluntary Agreements. And it provided the Vietnamese stakeholders with the concepts and experience they need for the ongoing process.
