International team of scientists to meet in Panama to discuss future of the world's forests
Date:2/28/2010

lent to 30 years of a scientist's time in the field. By the end of the partnership, over 2000 HSBC employees will have gone through the climate champion programme, helping to advance scientific knowledge and developing skills and knowledge to address the challenges of climate change in their business.

Dr. Dan Bebber, Head of Climate Change Research at Earthwatch says, "We are engaging thousands of HSBC employees in hands-on data collection alongside scientists from leading research institutes, to provide decision-makers with the information they need to manage our natural resources in the face of climate change."

STRI's Center for Tropical Forest Science, coordinates research efforts at 34 independent forest dynamics research plots worldwide. Director, Stuart Davies says, "To understand how global forests respond to climate change requires enormous datasets from on-the-ground measurements and observations from forests around the world. Aided by the enthusiasm of HSBC climate champions, our global network of forest-research plots is generating the crucial scientific data needed to predict forest response to climate change."

Francis Sullivan, Adviser on the Environment for HSBC Holdings plc says: "Through the HSBC Climate Partnership, we have deepened our understanding of the impacts of climate change across the world and have begun to address our own business response whilst working with our customers to realise the opportunities of the new green economy."
