This event is part of Next Fest, brought to you by the Sustainable Business Network and NZI.
Picture this: a major weather event hits your region. Power’s out, roads are closed and your suppliers are struggling to deliver. But your business keeps trading. Your team knows what to do, your systems are backed up and your customers stay connected — because you had a plan.
Hosted by Climate Connect Aotearoa and NZI, this interactive session will help you start building that plan. You’ll learn how to identify your key climate and operational risks — from supply chain disruption and infrastructure issues to customer and workforce impacts — and discover simple, practical actions to build resilience and protect your business from future shocks.
The session will open with a presentation from NZI on the importance of climate adaptation and resilience through an insurer lens, followed by a hands-on workshop led by Climate Connect Aotearoa, including:
- A practical introduction to identifying and assessing climate-related risks
- Ideas and quick wins to strengthen business continuity
- Information on support tools to help you take your next steps in climate action.
You’ll also be introduced to ClimateWise, a free online tool that helps small and medium businesses assess risk and increase resilience to climate impacts.
This practical two-hour taster session is designed to spark ideas, build confidence and help your business stay operating through disruption.
