Building business resilience through nature, water and place
Is your business ready for the next climate event?
While reducing emissions is critical, the reality of climate change is already hitting our world. From flooding and storms to supply chain disruption, New Zealand businesses are facing growing operational risks. The question is how we adapt practically, profitably and soon.
Join us for an action-oriented session designed to prepare your business for climate readiness. We will be focusing on site-level resilience: the data you need, the nature-based infrastructure that works and the finance that makes it possible.
What you’ll learn:
Five industry leaders will map out the journey from risk to resilience:
- Data: Dr Andrew Allison (Urban Intelligence) will translate climate and infrastructure data into clear, site-specific business risks.
- Resource: Julian Lough and Klaudia Matyjas (WaterSmart) will showcase how smarter water management and stormwater strategies protect your assets and your bottom line.
- Design: Phoebe Tinning (Syrinx) will explore the power of nature-based technology and bioengineering to transform ‘grey’ infrastructure into resilient, living systems.
- Action: Parin Rafiei-Thompson (Climate Connect NZ) will introduce the Climate Wise platform - a digital roadmap to help SMEs build capability and take their first practical steps.
Who Should Attend?
This event is aimed at SME owners, asset and facility managers, property developers and sustainability leads who want to future-proof their physical operations. Whether you lease a small warehouse or manage a large property portfolio, you will leave with a clearer understanding of your exposure and a toolkit of solutions to address it.
