Copenhagen Climate Council is the official convenor of the World Business Summit on Climate Change prior to COP15.

According to its website, is "a global collaboration between international business and science founded by the leading independent think tank in Scandinavia, Monday Morning, based in Copenhagen. The members of the Copenhagen Climate Council have come together to create global awareness of the importance of the UN Summit in Copenhagen 2009 and to ensure support and assistance to global decision makers when agreeing on a new climate treaty. ... The Copenhagen Climate Council comprises 30 global leaders, active in business, science and public policy. Understanding the connection between these three elements will be key to the success of the 2009 UN Summit. ... The Council will seek to promote constructive dialogue between government and business, so that when the world’s political leaders and negotiators meet in Copenhagen in 2009, they will do so armed with the very best arguments for establishing a treaty that can be supported by global business."[1]
