This year marks an ecological watershed in which a powerful alignment of legal, financial and investment interests is beginning to direct trillions of dollars into evolving markets linked to climate change, clean technologies and the sustainable use of natural resources, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) said today.
Introducing "The Working Capital Report," scheduled to be published in March 2006 by the UNEP Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), UNEP said the study explores the role of financial service companies and capital markets as they capitalize on new opportunities linked to sustainable development and more effective management of the associated risks.
