Extreme weather events and long-term climatic changes are impacting economies everywhere, and non-state actors and governments must coordinate action to build the resilience of communities, ecosystems, and economies alongside action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming.
This full-day event will feature a series of sessions from organizations focusing on different aspects of resilience and the practical steps that a range of actors can take. The day will showcase keynote speakers, panel discussions, and interactive sessions highlighting examples and leaders from developing and developed countries, including from California- and U.S.-based organizations.
If you work with business and investors, philanthropists, international finance institutions, local and national governments, knowledge and research groups, or local and international civil society organizations and want to take action on climate resilience, please join us.
The BSR-led portion of this event is part of a series of global “Redefining Sustainable Business” convenings that will generate insights to help reshape how we think about the sustainable business agenda. These dialogues will feed into content that will be disseminated at the BSR Conference 2018 in New York, November 6-8.
Action to address the social impacts of climate change and other disruptions is essential to reach the SDGs—and that action must be inclusive of those left behind by the many changes remaking the economy.
Companies can address climate risk more effectively and efficiently if they put women at the heart of their climate resilience strategies.
This paper explores the connection between women’s empowerment and resilience to climate change and aims to drive corporate action to put women at the center of climate solutions.
For meaningful progress toward the SDGs, we need actors across entire value chains to take collective action on the issues that threaten business growth and social development.
