After 5 with Nimbl Consulting

Join us for a kōrero on climate resilience

Climate resilience and adaptation are becoming ever more vital for business. As events like Cyclone Gabrielle have made clear, the changing world impacts on everything from property to people, supply chains, infrastructure and insurance costs. Managing these risks, and recognising opportunities, are integral to business success.

This event presents an opportunity to engage in four key areas of climate resilience, all hosted by subject matter experts who work in or have deep knowledge of the impacts of climate change, infrastructure resilience and responding to climate events.

Like all our After 5 events, it’s a great chance to build your network and share ideas while learning new ways your business can thrive.
