The monthly digital-only financial title will launch on May 3 at Creating Climate Wealth Summit, DC and will be available to a select group of C-suite executives in Europe, USA and Asia. The title will have an exclusive distribution into the heart of key decision makers at some of the world’s most progressive companies, inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations. The magazine will be produced in multiple formats for subscribers through online, iPad, Tablet and smart phone editions.

With an initial 167,250 readers per month, we want Creating Climate Wealth to become the leading green business digital magazine distributed directly to entrepreneurs and C-suite executives using Carbon War Room’s membership database and become available by subscription on iPad. Our readers are affluent, influential, decision makers, future shapers, international professionals and investors.

Creating Climate Wealth focuses on working with entrepreneurs and industry to reduce carbon emissions that make good business sense and benefit both the industry and the environment almost immediately. The magazine will focus on seven main sectors—Electricity, Transport, the Built Environment, Industry, Land Use, Emerging Economies and Carbon Management, and will  feature:

• regular news and event updates from Carbon War Room operations
• an in-depth look at Carbon War Room operations: shipping, energy efficiency and aviation
• thought-leadership from Carbon War Room founders, board members and C-suite
• research reports on gigaton-scale reduction opportunities and new clean technologies
• profiles on the latest and most promising clean tech investment opportunities
• and articles by some of the world’s best journalists on clean tech

Richard Branson will launch the magazine with an in-depth article on why he set up the Carbon War Room, and his vision for creating climate wealth and bringing economic prosperity to economies across the globe.

The first edition will incorporate the Creating Climate Wealth Summit program and be available in hard copy at the event.

Creating Climate Wealth Summit, Washington DC, May 3-4, 2011

Investing $1.3 trillion each year in green sectors would deliver long-term stability in the global economy, a new UN report has suggested. Spending about 2 percent of global GDP in 10 key areas would kick-start a global low carbon, resource efficient green economy.

Since the oil crises of the 1970s, billions of dollars have been pumped into technology development in the areas of energy efficiency, low carbon energy, efficient transportation, bio-fuels, and other areas. This investment has led to hundreds of breakthroughs that are today cost effective. Yet, full commercial utilization of these innovations and their financial rewards still elude us.

The 2011 Creating Climate Wealth Summit (www.creatingclimatewealth.com) series aims to fast-track this amazing wealth creation opportunity—one we can use to create economic growth, entrepreneurial wealth, well paid jobs, and make billion ton (gigaton) carbon reductions.

The North America Summit kicks off the series on May 3-4 with Creating Climate Wealth, DC – an invitation only event – providing a unique workshop-driven convening of executives, investors, entrepreneurs, and leaders from the private and public sector. The purpose is to identify specific US pathways to accelerate deployment of green solutions in the face of low expectations and weak mandates.

During the summit, delegates will address ways to bring existing technologies to scale, while meeting employment, economics and sustainability goals. The technologies are spread across seven clean tech tracks:

• Distributed Generation
• Energy Efficiency
• Island Nations
• Renewable Fuels
• Shipping and Freight
• Sustainable Agriculture
• The Future of Person Transportation.

Each working track begins ahead of the Summit with a Carbon War Room Research pre-read report on market barriers. Delegates will use their entrepreneurial expertise to problem-solve and technology expertise to build new approaches to delivering high-profit solutions.

• Full membership to the Carbon War Room
• Admission to 2 days of plenary and workshop discussion in one of the seven clean tech working tracks
• Access to leading clean technology finance, entrepreneurs and policymakers
• One year membership  of Carbon War Room’s online communities and operations
• One year subscription to the Creating Climate Wealth digital-only financial magazine 
• Invitation to the Climate Leadership Gala Dinner, 3 May, 2011 at the EPA Atrium, DC

Don’t miss other Creating Climate Wealth Summits in Sydney, Australia on 7-8 July and London, UK on 7-8 September.
