This Dialogue, which is organized by the World Bank Group, will bring together businesses, governments and civil society to discuss policies that promote climate-friendly actions. The aim of the Dialogue is to determine how best to engage industries and others in order to stimulate climate-efficient industries and improve sector competitiveness, as well as ensure greater alignment and cooperation between the private sector and national goals. The conference will also officially launch the 'Vienna Principles for Dialogue on Climate Action,' which were developed by the World Bank Group and partners to help foster dialogues among the public and private sectors through a common standard/framework to improve the ability of companies to play an active role in designing policies and initiatives that tackle climate change. The World Bank publication 'A Greener Path to Competitiveness' will also be launched during the Dialogue.
