Enterprises must change their attitude, if the trend of ecological environment is to stop the decline. This is the message the President Valli Moosa, the League of nature, opening up a World Conservation Congress. In the former South African minister said that all directors should be and the environment. 10-day World Conservation Union General Assembly in Barcelona, Spain, will discuss global environmental problems and possible solutions.
The number of organizations, almost all governments around the world, environmental groups and representatives of the business community among its members.
‘Immoral market

Mr. Moussa spoke frankly that he believes that unfettered markets and enterprises is mainly responsible for the current environmental ills of the world.

“Leading entrepreneurs and the market will certainly contribute to the growth of the global economy, but at the same time may be personal morality, not the market,” he told delegates.

“Industrial and commercial damage done to the people and the environment is real, this is great, this is unacceptable.”

However, he added, is also unnecessary.

The short-term interests of the business to save money through energy saving, each boss have different interests, the world’s environment-friendly place their children.

Every business, he said, should be at least one non-executive directors working knowledge of environmental issues, as they should have a working experience of accounting.

However, business practices must change, Moussa said that the government has an important role, brought about by changes in the global community if we are to switch to a more sustainable path.

An important task is to reach a binding agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions, he said - a task looks more difficult now, Eastern European countries is challenging the EU to take action to reduce emissions and deployment of renewable energy, And a report last week showed that global emissions rise faster than ever before.

Skeptics contraction

The conference, the World Conservation Union marked the 60th anniversary, took place against the backdrop of a growing body of evidence shows that almost all global environmental indicators show down.

This is the stark picture painted of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) in the last 5 years of its Global Environment Outlook.

The report concluded that the current high species loss, climate change, deforestation, overfishing, pollution and desertification, combined with population growth, which means that future generations will be less healthy life on Earth.

Tamas Marghescu, the IUCN is responsible for Europe, agreed with the diagnosis.

“The potential of natural areas and the loss of biodiversity, the foundation of our country’s sustainable livelihood is disappearing,” he told BBC News.

“So my conclusion is that the world is not a sustainable direction, we need a new model of sustainability.”

He suggested that part of the solution may be directed to the full valuation services, natural resources, human performance, such as the handling of waste, regulating the temperature of the Earth, and provide fresh water.

As the Stern Review outlines the economic costs of climate change has not slowed down, mainly under the auspices of the exercise, the Council of Europe is trying to quantify the cost of no species loss, it is estimated that in the run 100-1000 times the natural growth rate.

In his view, Moussa and the number of suspected human body, is to reduce environmental degradation.

Over the past two years, he was concerned, the World Economic Forum has shown that it is concerned about climate change, the Pentagon warned that global warming will include the results of the spread of the disease and more severe storms and environmental refugees.

“It’s like the former doubt we have been aware of the mainstream,” he said.
