We need international co-operation to cut climate change

Vanessa Harvard-Williams, global head of environment with legal firm Linklaters, wants to see governments start to ‘cascade’ their commitments down as regulations to help business.

She also called on the governments of the US, China and India to work together on reducing climate change.
