GLAND, CH -- Nike, Nokia, HP and 16 other multinational companies launched a campaign Monday to nudge world leaders toward agreement of a global climate change treaty by late 2009.
The companies are part of the Climate Savers program spearheaded by the World Wildlife Fund, which is also a partner in the newly formed "Let the Clean Economy Begin" campaign. It implores leaders to set aggressive greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and move toward a global climate change treaty at the United Nations climate change negotiations taking place later this year in Copenhagen.

The Climate Saver partners argue that reducing greenhouse gas emissions can be a boon for business, rather than a bust that some fear. The Climate Saver companies offer themselves as proof: All have agreed to voluntarily reduce emissions, which has led to increased efficiency and millions of dollars in savings.
