As businesses globally respond to the climate crisis, new innovations in climate adaptation and sustainability are constantly emerging.
The Climate Ready Academy Masterclass series connects business owners and managers with thought leadership and expertise in the areas of climate action and sustainability. Through interactive and informative sessions curated by experts, participants will gain insight into best practice models on a global level.
A major challenge for businesses is developing skills which help the transition to more sustainable activities.
