Thursday 19 May – The Futures We Want – are you ready to turn?

Postponed from March, at this webinar Dr. Siobhan Gardiner, a Director in Deloitte’s ESG Advisory practice, will talk about the road ahead following proceedings at COP26 in Glasgow. Siobhan will then present the Futures We Want, a project commissioned in 2021 by the UK in its role as COP26 President, which sought to explore what the future could look like in a climate-resilient, net-zero world.
Dr. Ric Simes, Senior Economic Advisor at Deloitte will also talk about their recent Turning point report; insights include that rather than climate action being a drain on the economy, there is a window of opportunity to act now to significantly boost GDP and provide new employment opportunities for citizens.

This webinar will take place on Zoom between 9.00 and 10.00am on Thursday 19 May and you can register here.
