In the meantime, please register to stay informed on the upcoming webinar series based on the Future- Proofing Business Symposium.

This summer's tragic bushfires have demonstrated without doubt how rapidly the climate crisis is unfolding.

We cannot afford despair or complacency, or even worse, distraction and business-as-usual.

"Avoiding dangerous climate change requires a rapid but fair transition to a new decarbonised global economy. While we have many of the required technologies to succeed at this, time is running out," warns UNSW Professor Matthew England.  

The challenge presents both risks and opportunities for business researchers, educators and practitioners.

At the Future-Proofing Business Symposium, the UNSW Business School will showcase the latest thought leadership for climate mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Learn from a mix of cutting edge research and practical industry solutions in the areas of:

  • Managing investor performance and disclosure
  • Brand management and asset management in the age of climate change
  • Economic models for future work and sustainable communities
  • Innovation, technology and AI for tackling climate change

This Symposium will bring together academic staff, students and business professionals. We will share ideas, network and form partnerships to ensure that business takes the lead in transitioning to a future that is environmentally sustainable and fair to all.

Places are limited. Please register to express interest now.
