KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Each jurisdiction is at different stages of the decarbonisation journey and has different approaches.
• Foreseeing and preparing for the operational implications of climate change e.g., a higher risk of flooding, is another part of climate change resilience.
• To build climate change resilience companies need to look at the long term as well as the immediate risks
• Everyone in the organisation needs to take the climate challenge seriously.
• Some projects will lend themselves to a sustainable approach. Others will not make sense economically.
• Technology is going to help with energy efficiency.
• AI analytics will help to meet the climate challenge by targeting mining efforts more effectively.
• To be attractive to investors you have to have good green credentials.
• Digitization, automation, decarbonisation, and faster innovation are all going to create new types of roles and skill demands.
• Having a diverse, talented workforce has a huge impact on a firm´s ability to meet its ESG and climate change goals.
• Companies will have to look beyond traditional talent pools to create the workforce they need.
