Unlocking resource productivity for sustainable growth - B4E Climate Summit 2011, London

Plenary discussion panel
Unlocking resource productivity for sustainable growth
We have entered a new era of economic development with urbanization and a growing middle class in emerging markets leading to unprecedented growth in demand for resources and a significant risk of real price increases and greater volatility as we approach short-term supply limits. This session will explore ways to meet this demand, specifically: (i) where are the real challenges of resource productivity and where lie the win- wins; (ii) what are the linkages and trade-offs across the different resources;(iii) where can business act and what does it take?
