According to the Guardian, Britain has increased the pressure on both the US and other countries to come up with firm commitments to reduce carbon emissions. Given the upcoming meeting in Copenhagen in December, it is extremely important that – especially the richest countries in the world – set some goals, in order to be able to sign a new international climate change treaty.
Besides the US, China is also required to make a substantial contribution to the carbon reduction. Brazil did not need any encouragement in setting the goals for cutting carbon emissions. They proposed have their greenhouse gas emissions limited to the 2005 levels in 2020, without limiting the potential economic growth.
In Copenhagen, the countries will also discuss the contribution they will give to developing countries. This contribution should help them adapt to climate change. Since rich countries are mostly responsible for the air pollution, they should also be the ones to pay most of the money required to cut carbon emission.
The meeting in Copenhagen in December will no doubt lead to new goals and, of course, new legislation. Anticipating on this would not only be very sensible, it might also help start saving costs right away. How? For example by re-evaluating your fleet. Light commercial fleets, trailers and sales vehicles can be monitored by Ctrack Assist. Ctrack Assist is a cost-effective tool that can help increase the effectiveness of your fleet. By means of a clear reporting system, it is possible to see when, where and how an employee is driving, and whether or not a vehicle is available for a job at that time. Besides, Ctrack Assist offers multiple possibilities to improve customer service by being able to respond faster to enquiries.
