The subject of "Climate change" was first brought up at the 1989 Bilderberg meeting[1], at the exact time of the end of the Cold War.
The subject was up again in 2007 and 2009. It was again a topic in 2018, 2022 and 2023.

Bilderberg 1989
Under "solutions", the meeting strategized among other things that the areas where "immediate advances are required" were:
*Rapid progress in the capability to accurately forecast the regional effects (i.e. temperature and precipitation) of global warming for the next decade.
- Environmental issues must become an integral part of national policies, economic developments and international affairs.
- The right people must be identified, motivated and placed in various strategic positions in industry, government and academia.
- The educational system must be adjusted to focus on strong interdisciplinary topics that will produce a new generation of scientists and engineers that will be the infrastructure upon which future advances will be made.[1]
A matter of concern to several speakers was the adequacy of existing political institutions to the task of dealing with the environment. An Austrian felt that, to address this "massive problem of social engineering," might require "imaginative new institutions"· to address the current inadequacy of leadership. A stronger international authority was needed. A German speaker felt that existing institutions, particularly the United Nations and its environmental agency, was up to the job and should be relied upon.[1]

Other
- Josef Ackermann - all betwwen 2004 and 2014. Bilderberg Steering Committee - In a 2010 speech he said "In 2009, global investment in clean energy was $162 billion. That will need to scale-up to $348 billion a year by 2020 to meet the climate challenge -- and capital needs outside clean energy. Unleashing private-sector investment in the space will be vital. This is because of the capital intensity of low-carbon sectors and industries. This challenge as well as others like securing the raw materials, energy and infrastructure base for sustainable growth can only be met if one takes a long-term view and if government and private money team up in public-private partnerships."[2]
- Dora Bakoyannis -2003,2009 - Minister for Foreign Affairs of Greece, said in 2008 that "it was necessary to achieve in 2009 a new, truly global climate agreement that had binding mitigation targets."[3]
- Ernst Hirsch Ballin- 2009 - Wrote the 2021 book chapter Water in Times of Climate Change: "More recently, climate change has pushed the ecological threats to security higher up on the political agenda.
