Building Momentum. Driving Change.
As we enter the final stretch to 2030, the impacts of climate change are no longer theoretical, they are shaping the operating environment for New Zealand businesses today.
The 2026 Climate Change & Business Conference, Building Momentum. Driving Change., will bring together a leading line-up of local and global speakers at Auckland’s Viaduct Events Centre on 7–8 September to tackle the critical questions of the moment. From geopolitical shocks reshaping energy security, to capturing the upside of the transition, shaping policy priorities ahead of Election 2026 and unpacking the true cost of adaptation, this is a critical forum for business leaders and one not to be missed.
