This study explores ways to integrate industry in the process of designing and operationalising sectoral approaches to climate change according to a guideline that could be agreed in Cancún in December 2010 or later. One possible effective form of industry’s contribution could be their participation in a consultative body based on a public-private partnership and tasked to steer this process. This report identifies three possible conceptual models of such a consultative body: an informal advisory body, an independent organisation financed partly from governments and partly from industry sectors and a UN body. Each model could constitute a different phase for evolution of the new body.
