Swedish Minister of trade advocates standards to tackle complex climate change issues

The Swedish Minister of Trade highlighted how standards and certification can be used in tackling even the most complex issues. As part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Minister spoke of how specific standards can deal with definable issues such as measuring greenhouse gas emissions (ISO 14064 and ISO 14065), through to generic standards such as ISO 14001 helping to embed the right culture in organisations to help tackle key issues.
