在最近一次关于绿色价值观的讨论上,有位著名的中国企业家说,太极是最环保的运动和休闲方式,而且他会利用各种场合来推广这个价值观。且不论这位企业家的观点是否正确,对中国企业家群体而言,大家最需要拿出来公开讨论的或许不是其个人生活的绿色价值观,而是商业行为的绿色价值观。保护生态环境,应对气候变化,正在深刻地影响着全球的社会和经济,中国自然也不例外。一些行业将遭受沉重打击。正如中国社会科学院城市发展与环境研究所潘家华研究员及其同事所指出,许多达不到节能减排要求的中小企业会逐步关停并转,造成结构性失业。正因为此,一些企业家或许会将环境和可持续发展视为负担。但包括时刻不忘推广太极的那位中国企业家在内,越来越多的企业家开始将环境和可持续发展视为机遇。实际上,倘若寻找到适当的商业模式,保护生态环境和应对气候变化也可以推动商业进步,并且带来巨大的商业机会,像美国耶鲁大学商业与环境中心主任丹尼尔·艾斯缇描述的那样,“从绿到金”。在很大程度上,绿色商业将受益于企业、政府、环保组织和消费者等各种力量的共同推动。原联合国气候事务最高官员伊沃·德波尔在今年7月卸任后,也将投身于绿色商业,担任毕马威的气候变化和环境可持续性问题全球顾问。他在谈及自己的新选择时曾表示:“哥本哈根没有达成一个清晰的法律协议,但政治意愿,以及迈向低排放世界的观念已经是大势所趋。这个趋势在召唤与私人部门的全新合作,我很高兴能够参与其中。” 在这股正在兴起的绿色商业浪潮中,中国经济体的表现如何,存在怎样的机遇和挑战?企业应该做什么?政府又应该做什么?本刊特发表中外学者、企业界人士和环保界人士的观点,与读者分享。
In a recent discussion on green values, a prominent Chinese entrepreneur said that Tai Chi is the greenest way of sports and leisure, and he will use the occasion to promote this value. And whatever the entrepreneur’s point of view is correct, for the Chinese entrepreneur community, most people need to come out to open discussion of green values may not be their personal life, but the green values of business practices. Protecting the ecological environment and tackling climate change are profoundly affecting the social and economic aspects of the world. China is no exception. Some industries will suffer a heavy blow. As researcher Pan Jiahua and his colleagues at the Institute of Urban Development and Environment of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences point out, many small and medium-sized enterprises that fail to meet the energy conservation and emission reduction requirements will gradually shut down and turn around and cause structural unemployment. Because of this, some entrepreneurs may consider the environment and sustainable development as a burden. But including the Chinese entrepreneur who always keeps in mind the promotion of Taiji, more and more entrepreneurs are beginning to see the environment and sustainable development as opportunities. In fact, finding the right business model, protecting the environment and coping with climate change can also drive business progress and create tremendous business opportunities, as described by Daniel Asti, Director of the Center for Business and Environment at Yale University in the United States. “From green to gold ”. To a large extent, green business will benefit from the joint efforts of various forces such as enterprises, governments, environmental organizations and consumers. After leaving the United Nations in July this year, former UN official for climate affairs, Ivo de Boer, will also devote himself to green business as a global adviser to KPMG on climate change and environmental sustainability. When talking about his new choice, he said: “There is no clear legal agreement in Copenhagen, but the political will and the notion of moving toward a low-emission world are the dominant trend, calling for a new partnership with the private sector, I am very happy to be involved. ”What are the opportunities and challenges for China’s economy in this emerging wave of green business? What should companies do? What should governments do? Scholars, business people and environmentalists, and share with readers.
