We can point fingers all day, but the reality is that each of us are playing a role in Earth’s rapidly increasing temperature. It’s a global issue. Environmental catastrophes range from water shortages, heatwaves, and droughts to plant and animal extinctions, acidic oceans, and coral reef degradation. Companies are being forced to find creative ways to remain competitive as 60% are at risk from climate change. It’s important to highlight companies and individuals that are transparent in their efforts to mitigate our changing climate. This transparency improves market efficiency and will lead to economic and environmental resiliency. Our panel will discuss the business value of addressing climate change, what we should be prioritizing, how to influence and engage key stakeholders and the workforce, and how companies are being impacted by climate change.
