All large listed companies would have to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and pension fund trustees would have to consider climate change when making investments, under proposals to be issued by the Conservative party this week.
The proposals are the work of the "quality of life" commission set up by party leader David Cameron to come up with proposals to shape policies on the environment. The commission was headed by John Gummer, a former environment minister, and Zac Goldsmith, son of the financier Sir James Goldsmith and editor of The Ecologist magazine.
