In-Person
As the business community continue to engage with the drive to transition to net zero and to decarbonise their operations, this year’s Summit will have a focus on how we maintain momentum.
Tackling climate change and nature’s decline remains one of the most pressing issues of our generation, which if left unchecked will bring with it the potential for extensive business disruption in the not too distant future.
Ensuring a just transition for all is essential, how we overcome some of these challenges, how we deal with climate fatigue and engage our customers and employees, is key to making the changes required to enable us to hit our climate goals.
On the day, through a range of speakers, workshops and panel discussions, we will bring together industry specialists, scholars, and the business community to explore how we overcome some of the main barriers to ensure a timely transition to net zero and how we can hit the climate change challenge head on.
