We host and participate in a range of regular and one-off events to facilitate conversations between academics, board members, lawyers, policy makers, and practitioners to help drive climate action. Our centre was founded to build a bridge from academic insight to boardroom action, to help companies reach net zero emissions and build climate resilience. Our events play a crucial role in expanding our network and fostering meaningful discussions among our members.
