Climate and Carbon Webinar from Centre for Governance, Institutions and Organisations (CGIO) at NUS Business School and Carbon Care Asia
Introducing Climate Strategy and Carbon Management for Business Leaders
Climate change is a reality that Asian nations and businesses are finding hard to ignore. In the region, rising sea levels put archipelagos such as Japan and the Philippines at risk, while the average temperatures in Southeast Asia have risen every decade since 1960.
Asian businesses that have adopted emissions-reduction targets find that their actions are not just good for the earth, but also for their companies’ bottom lines. However more companies need to follow their lead to make a true impact.
This webinar introduces the key issues that are vital for companies to address the risks and opportunities of climate change, as well as national plans for a transition to a low-carbon economy. The information in this introductory webinar will form the basis of a forthcoming course at NUS Business School.
Participants will:
- Deepen their knowledge and understanding of climate change;
