Global Roundtable on Climate Change

FPL Group has endorsed the Joint Statement of the Global Roundtable on Climate Change (GROCC). This Global Roundtable brings together more than 150 critical stakeholders from all regions of the world - including senior executives from the private sector and leaders of international governmental and non-governmental organizations - to discuss and explore areas of consensus regarding core scientific, technological and economic issues critical to shaping sound public policies on climate change.

The statement lays out a proactive framework for global action to mitigate climate change risks and impacts while also meeting the need for energy, economic growth and sustainable development around the world. It outlines cost-effective technologies that exist today and others that could be developed and deployed to improve energy efficiency and to help reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) in major sectors of the global economy.

Endorsers of the Joint Statement represent a broad spectrum of interests including entities from the fields of energy, government, air transport, manufacturing, banking, insurance, technology, religious organizations and many others.
