According to a press release from the organization itself:

"On July 31st The Climate Group convened a 'Climate and Energy Roundtable' bringing together 14 CEOs, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to discuss how business and government could accelerate the deployment of clean energy and clean technologies and facilitate the necessary transition to a low carbon economy. With BP as the host, the historic event took place in a large tent cooled using biodiesel fuel at a BP facility at the Port of Long Beach."

In order to learn more about this organization and its efforts, California Politics Today spoke this afternoon with Nancy Skinner, the Director of the U.S. branch of The Climate Group.
