SYDNEY: Big businesses have been urged to switch on to clean technologies so as to cut greenhouse gas emissions during a meeting here of six Asia-Pacific countries on climate change. Senior officials from Australia, China, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the U.S. opened a meeting of the Asia Pacific Clean Development and Climate Partnership in Sydney on Wednesday. The six partners represent almost half of world GDP, energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and population. Officials met about 80 business chiefs from the energy sector and discussed how to cut greenhouse emissions by using clean technologies. U.S. Energy Secretary Sam Bodman said the partners would expect to challenge the private sector to take advantage of the opportunities that were available to them. "It's really the private sector, the companies that own the assets, that make the financial allocations, that are ultimately going to be the solvers of the problems,'' Mr. Bodman said. — Xinhua
