Clinton Climate Initiative
The Rotterdam Climate Initiative is part of the international Clinton Climate Initiative. The Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI) was founded in August of 2006 by the Clinton Foundation, the foundation of Bill Clinton, former President of the United States. The mission of CCI is to apply a business-oriented approach to fight against climate change. Stimulating the use of new technologies and finding practical and measurable solutions are pivotal aspects of this approach.
CCI
collaborates with the C40 Large Cities Climate Leadership Group, an
association of 40 large cities all over the world dedicated to tackling
climate change by developing and implementing a range of actions that
will accelerate CO2 emissions reduction.
In
2008, during the World Port Climate Conference that took place in
Rotterdam, CCI marked out Rotterdam as ‘World Capital for CCS’, capture and storage of CO2 (PDF).
