Featured Sessions

Lessons in Resilience: Learning from Extreme Weather Events

Katrina, Sandy, Haiyan: How can the private sector act to make business and society more resilient in a climate-constrained world? What steps are companies already taking to respond to anticipated future risks?

The Fracking Debate: Do We Know Enough to Hit the Gas?

The experts debate: Are fracking companies doing enough proactive due diligence and risk assessment to ensure that they are considering the health and geological risks of fracking at these unprecedented levels? Are they taking the right steps to mitigate or eliminate those risks?

Using Sustainability to Move Markets

It is the virtuous circle of marketing: Make your product so desirable that everyone must have it now. But can marketers achieve this same dynamic with sustainability? Can mainstream, mass-market brands motivate their consumers to buy into sustainable lifestyles?
