EVENTS:
SIR RICHARD BRANSON CONFIRMED FOR
CREATING CLIMATE WEALTH WORKSHOPS,
SINGAPORE, MAY 13 2013.
“Climate Change is the biggest wealth creating opportunity of
our generation” Sir Richard Branson
Sir Richard Branson, Founder of the Carbon War Room, will open the inaugural Creating Climate Wealth Workshops
Summit on May 13 at the National University, Singapore, and take part in a live Q&A
Creating Climate Wealth (CCW) is a global convening mechanism designed for entrepreneurs, innovators, capital
providers, industry leaders and experts. It aims to identify profitable opportunities that climate change offers across
diverse industry sectors. Whereas other green conferences and events have typically initiated ‘calls to action’ and
white papers, our end goal at Carbon War Room is to elevate theory into practice.
CCW Workshop Summits: Are Carbon War Room’s global flagship events. Each summit is a standalone two -day
workshop with specially selected industry tracks (see below) and a unique mix of senior del egates. The inclusive
workshop format is designed to ensure learning opportunities are maximised, your voice is heard, and solutions are
found.
“CCW brings together key change makers from different
industries to discuss current challenges and develop
outcomes which can effectively move capital forward.”
Joern Scheller, Director, Credit Solutions Group – Shipping,
Deutsche Bank AG
WHAT DO I GET
At CCW Singapore, participants identify and analyze the most pressing barriers to green market growth in their
industries, and develop solutions for overcoming these barriers. Although CCWs consider complex issues, the
resolutions they generate are concrete, actionable and ultimately capable of accelerating, deploying and exploiting
clean technology.
Day One:
• Groups will be asked to identify the challenges facing their individual industries
• Ideas for overcoming problems are brainstormed.
Day Two:
• Groups take their most robust ideas and pitch them – Dragon’s Den style - to our exclusive panel of industry
experts and innovators.
• Approved ideas are taken forward and developed into actionable solutions published after the event.
Beyond the Event:
• Actionable solutions are taken forward either autonomously by companies or with the Carbon War Room,
depending the potential scale of impact of the solution

ABOUT THE CARBON WAR ROOM
Currently, the world has the technology and policy in place to tackle 50% of the climate challenge: The job at hand now
is how to shift existing capital to all entrepreneurial solutions that are profitable today. To do this, we must remove the
market barriers that are currently stopping the successful scaling of these technologies globally.
Carbon War Room takes a global, sector-based approach. We are dedicated to breaking down industry market
barriers, and get money flowing towards low-carbon opportunities. The Carbon War Room divides the climate
change challenge into 7 sectors and 17 sub-sectors each containing the potential for massive C02 reductions, which
are achievable via profitable business opportunities. Across these sectors, the War Room’s current Operations
include: Maritime Shipping Efficiency, Green Capital, Renewable Jet Fuels, Smart Island Economies, and Trucking
Efficiency.
