The Sustainability Interest Group is hosting a sessional titled “Climate Change 101” on the 11th of December 2023 between 6.00pm and 7.30pm

This will be a hybrid session with in person sessions held at the Deloitte offices in both Auckland and Wellington along with the option to join virtually.

Progress made in climate action - a global and local perspective
Inter-generational & intra-generational inequalities through the lens of climate change
A deep dive into the New Zealand Climate Change Commission
Incorporating climate change and sustainability into the corporate strategy & risk management framework
