Climate Group CEO says climate change is a "major attack on human rights" & business is key to tackling it

"Is the business sector key to tackling climate change? Q&A with Mark Kenber", 19 May 2015

[Excerpts from interview with Mark Kenber, CEO of Climate Group]: "The business sector is responsible for the majority of the economy and the vast majority of investment decisions, so it will be the business sector that determines whether we hit a low carbon economic path or stay sputtering along the existing one...Climate change itself is a major attack on human rights because it affects the poorest, most vulnerable people who haven't caused the problem. It deprives people of the basic right to shelter, security, food, water, and so on. And then there are human rights aspects about how we deal with it. We need to pay proper attention to adaptation and involving people in decisions." [Refers to ExxonMobil, Ikea]
