ABN AMRO: Stoppen klimaatverandering mogelijk zonder beperking economische groei.

"Actions to fight global warming now and introduce environmentally clean and efficient energy technologies will cost the world less than doing nothing....The cost of action is much less than the cost of inaction the World Bank's Chief Scientist Robert Watson told the conference "Make markets work for climate" in Amsterdam."

"The chief executive of the biggest Dutch bank ABN AMRO Rijkman Groenink said he believed mitigation action could be achieved without affecting economic growth and investment in clean and renewable energy technology was necessary......Developing a global emissions market is another key action but the private sector needs stable, long-term regulatory framework so that it knows how to invest, the conference heard.... We as a private sector cannot do that alone. We need long-term policy guarantees and incentives to achieve carbon reduction," ABN AMRO's Rijkman Groenink said."
