The roundtable was a group of 23 transnational corporations promoting market based solutions to climate change such as emissions trading schemes. It was formed at the 2005 World Economic Forum in the run up to the G8 negotiations, it overlapped with and appears to have been subsequently merged into the Gleneagles Dialogue on Climate Change. [1]

The 23 members comprised the oil and gas, chemicals, aviation, automotive and mining and metals industries. These sectors stand to lose considerably from strong climate policies.
