一周要聞

奧巴馬的下一步行動：履行競選承諾

將于明年1月上任的美國當選總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在兌現(xiàn)競選承諾時面臨著來自幾個不同利益群體的壓力。奧巴馬的競選承諾中，包含一系列應對可持續(xù)的挑戰(zhàn)，例如健康、氣候變化、能源獨立、產(chǎn)品安全和勞工問題。奧巴馬的首要任務將是經(jīng)濟復蘇計劃，以使企業(yè)渡過難關(guān)恢復正常運營，減少失業(yè)。奧巴馬面臨的另一挑戰(zhàn)是如何兌現(xiàn)在今后10年投入1500億美元開發(fā)可再生能源的承諾。此外，奧巴馬還面臨著資金不足的消費者產(chǎn)品安全委員會的改革以使其成為更嚴厲的監(jiān)管者和為消費者提供更有用的資源。

G20國集團敦促監(jiān)管改革以維護自由市場原則

面對近幾十年以來最嚴重的經(jīng)濟危機，分別代表發(fā)達國家和主要新興市場國家的G20領導人，日前在華盛頓特區(qū)會面尋求為振興經(jīng)濟尋找方案。盡管肯定要在加強監(jiān)管方面實施更多的改革和加強國際合作，G20國集團仍表現(xiàn)出對自由市場原則的信心，并不認為有必要組建一個國際監(jiān)管機構(gòu)。在一份5頁的公報中，既給出一般原則也提供了一些具體步驟， G20領導人要求監(jiān)管機構(gòu)要求銀行留出更多的流動性緩沖資金、評估風險管理操作并提高對某些高風險投資活動的資本金要求，并檢查支付執(zhí)行情況。

全球投資者呼吁為應對氣候變化采取行動

超過130名金融機構(gòu)投資者，擁有6000億美元的資金，呼吁富裕國家減少其二氧化碳排放并推動清潔能源技術(shù)。在向政府提交的一份聲明中，投資者敦促發(fā)達國家應設定目標，即以1990年為排放基準，到2020年減少25－40％的溫室氣體排放，到2050年達到減少80－95％的排放量。同時，投資者們希望政策制定者提供一個更加擴大且流動性較高的全球碳市場。他們還呼吁美國證券交易委員會強制上市公司在披露影響其業(yè)務的因素時一并披露氣候變化的相關(guān)風險對業(yè)務產(chǎn)生影響的影響。

報告精粹

關(guān)注全球供應鏈中的移民勞工問題

商務社會責任國際協(xié)會發(fā)布《國際勞工問題：負責任企業(yè)的作用》報告，強調(diào)全球化中一個常被忽視的要素：在新興經(jīng)濟市場中勞工的相互流動。報告喚起企業(yè)對國際供應鏈中的勞工流動問題的關(guān)注，并建議企業(yè)如何改善移民勞工的工作條件和加強供應商的雇傭條件。商務社會責任國際協(xié)會在報告中提供了一個三步法，有助于企業(yè)參與國際勞工問題： 完善公司的教育、與供應商合作、擴大公司的影響力。完整報告請在以下地址下載：www.bsr.org/reports/BSR_LaborMigrationRoleforBusiness.pdf。

This Week's Top Headlines

Next Step for Obama: Delivering on Campaign Promises

With campaign promises that take on a number of sustainability challenges, such as healthcare, climate change, energy independence, product safety, and labor, U.S. President-elect Barack Obama faces pressure from several different groups to deliver when he takes office in January. Obamas first priority will be an economic recovery program aimed at getting business back on track and people back to work. Obama also faces the challenge of delivering on his promise to spend US$150 billion over 10 years to develop renewable energy sources. Another challenge for Obama will be the transformation of the underfunded Consumer Product Safety Commission into a tougher regulator and a useful resource for consumers.

G20 Urges Regulatory Reform While Preserving Free-Market Principles

Facing the gravest economic crisis in decades, the Group of 20 leaders (G20)—representing developed and major emerging countries—met in Washington, D.C., to work on reviving their economies. While affirming the need for greater reform and increased international cooperation on strengthening regulatory regimes, the G20 action plan preserved faith in free-market principles and fell short of an international regulatory body. In a five-page communiqué that mixed general principles with specific steps, the G20 ordered financial regulators to demand that banks create bigger liquidity cushions, assess their risk-management practices, boost capital requirements for certain risky investment practices, and scrutinize executive pay.

Global Investors Call for Action on Climate Change

More than 130 global institutional investors holding more than US$6 trillion in assets called on rich countries to cut their carbon emissions and promote clean technology. In a statement sent to governments, investors urged developed countries to set targets compared to 1990 levels to reduce emissions by 25 to 40 percent by 2020, and by 80 to 95 percent by 2050. Additionally, investors want policymakers to provide an expanded and more liquid global carbon market. They also called on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to force publicly traded companies to disclose climate-related risks along with other factors that affect their business.

Oxfams “Responsible Investment: A Force for Poverty Alleviation. Framing the Debate” is the first of a series of papers analyzing institutional investors role in poverty alleviation and indentifying the key barriers to long-term investment in developing countries. This report makes the case for why investors are critical to the development agenda, provides an analytical framework for the rest of the series, and identifies the core questions the series will explore.

EU－15 mostly on track to meet Kyoto targets

The 15 ‘old European Union member states are on track to meeting their targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions that they signed up to under the 1997 Kyoto Agreement, EUobserver reports. The EU-15 as a whole, excluding member states that joined in 2004 and 2007, should meet its collective target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by eight percent for the period 2008-2012 compared with 1990, the Kyoto agreements baseline year. While Denmark, Italy and Spain are behind in reducing emissions, the performance of the other EU-15 nations is enough to pick up the slack.
