Leading Climate Adaptation

Leading Climate Adaptation – Climate adaptation starts with leadership.

Climate change is no longer a future threat – it’s a business risk.

From rising insurance premiums to investor pressure and restricted market access, Tasmanian organisations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate sustainability and manage climate-related risk.

This isn’t a ‘nice to have’. It’s essential for staying competitive, compliant, and credible.

Join us in Launceston on Thursday 3 July for a practical leadership workshop or come along to our afternoon panel and networking event, choose the option that suits you best.
