RICS and more than 500 organisations from around the world have signed a communiqué that will be distributed to more than 100 heads of state and government attending the United Nations Summit on Climate Change taking place at UN Headquarters. RICS, representing the standards of property professionalism worldwide, calls for an ambitious, robust and equitable global climate change treaty, with the aim to avoid financial uncertainty and set up the conditions towards a sustainable built environment.

The communiqué will become the definitive statement from the international business community ahead of the United Nations negotiations on climate change in Copenhagen in December 2009. More on www.joinricsineurope.eu/pressroom
