Sony, Nokia, Nike, Hewlett Packard, Others Will Fight Global Warming

Leaders of some of the world's largest corporations made an urgent call for companies around the globe to reduce their impact on human-induced climate change and embrace a "low carbon lifestyle." A dozen corporations were represented in the call.

"There is no doubt that climate change is one of the most important issues of our time," said Sony CEO Howard Stringer. Sony hosted the event, along with the environmental group WWF. Business leaders said governments aren't doing enough.

The companies, which have already pledged themselves to their own environmental goals, will push business partners and other firms to do the same. WWF official James Leape said, "We are moving into a carbon constrained world ... a new economy."
