Program Design

We invite you to be part of an innovative process which requires your full engagement and interaction over the two days. The more you invest, the more you will gain in terms of practical value and outcomes.

Session Design

1. Leading expert presentations will be followed by facilitated group

activities involving all delegates.

2. Each participatory activity is designed to build on those that preceded it

and integrate with the additional information provided by each opening

speaker. Participants will stay in the same groups throughout the two

days to enable consistency and flow of work.

3. By the end of the Day 2 groups will have created a narrative of their work.

Who will attend?

Business managers – dealing with increasing complexity and uncertainty and multiple shocks to their business models
Policy-makers – in finance, health, community development, environment, primary industries, planning and transport
NGOs – working on climate and cross-cutting issues
Researchers – particularly those working on interdisciplinary themes relating to climate change
