Synopsis

Climate impacts are already having a material effect on many firms. From the local disruption to workforces, operations, and infrastructure caused by heat waves and flooding to the macro economic impact of rising food prices and increasingly vulnerable global supply chains, businesses are aware that climate change can have a tangible impact on their bottom line.

There is also a growing awareness amongst scientists, politicians, and business leaders that climate risks are going to become more pronounced as extreme weather impacts become more severe and demand for raw materials continues to rise.

This BusinessGreen Leaders Forum, sponsored by PwC, will explore the latest thinking on corporate climate risk management and provide senior executives with practical guidance on how to bolster their organisation's climate resilience.

The two hour forum will feature a series of presentations on climate risk and resilience by leading experts from across the scientific, political and business community. The session will include case studies detailing how top firms are minimising the climate risks they face, a keynote address on the latest climate science projections, and the presentation of an exclusive BusinessGreen report on the business response to climate change.
