Business Action for Energy (BAE) The Business Action for Sustainable Development (BASD) was a temporary initiative developed around the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD, Johannesburg, 2002). This initiative was a resounding success and this model for positive business co-operation has received much support around the world.
Set up in January 2005 by three founding organizations - the International Chamber Of Commerce (ICC), the World Business Council For Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the World Energy Council (WEC) - Business Action for Energy (BAE) is an ad-hoc, temporary business initiative bringing together a comprehensive network of businesses, large and small, from around the world, through the representation of their associations, drawn from many sectors and regions. PURPOSE BAE has been established to coordinate business input into the 14th and 15th sessions (May 2006 and 2007) of the UN Commission On Sustainable Development (UNCSD), which will focus on Energy , Industrial Development , Atmosphere and Climate Change , and to other important forums in that timeframe. It will do so by coordinating the delivery of international business views, positions, or recommendations, and by communicating the depth and variety of activities and projects undertaken by businesses, often in partnership with governments, international, regional and local agencies, and NGOs, in pursuit of a more sustainable energy future. PARTICIPANTS BAE brings together international, regional and sector organizations, representing oil, gas, nuclear, coal, electricity and other major energy producers and consumers. At the national level, members include national committees, chambers, chapters of international business organizations and sector associations. The current list of confirmed participating organizations, including the founding organizations, are the:
