Tetra Pak vodcast series highlights what industry and government can do to limit climate impact

As world leaders gather in Copenhagen for the United Nations Climate Change Conference this December, Tetra Pak launches the first in a series of vodcasts that examine some of the key issues and challenges for both governments and industry if we are to make an impact on climate change. The films contain presentations and comments from participants during a panel discussion at a Tetra Pak media event on climate change, held in Sweden in October.

The series tackles various areas of environmental performance and includes comments and analysis from a wide variety of sources including WWF, The Coca Cola Company, Carrefour Group and Tetra Pak. “Only by working together can we help mitigate the impact of climate change,” said Jörgen Haglind, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications, Tetra Pak.

In the first vodcast, Lasse Gustavsson, Secretary General of WWF Sweden sets out the context for the UN Climate Change Conference and examines some of the ways we can make a difference and looks ahead to the challenges facing world leaders in Copenhagen if they are going to reach a workable deal.
In the second vodcast produced by Tetra Pak, representatives from Coca Cola and Carrefour join Tetra Pak to discuss the initiatives that all three companies are undertaking to improve their environmental performance and to mitigate the impact on climate change. The three companies discuss the need for challenging targets saying that incremental shifts are not enough. They also discuss the need for industry to decouple growth from environmental performance to achieve the goal of reducing climate impact.
