(in English) Masterclass: Climate change will impact your job
The Shift Project, hosting Yves-André Gagnard, Head of Investment, Business Transformation & Innovation and Olivier Carrot, Global Vice President at Concentrix
Abstract:
This conference is built around the idea of giving students and professionals keys to understanding the world they live in or are about to enter. The first part will outline mechanisms of global warming and what is at stake. The second part will discuss the choice that businesses face. We will then propose ideas for action for students and young professionals.
This conference develops three main ideas:
– The future is not set, contrary to the many disaster scenarios circulating in the climate change community.
– Companies are constantly interacting with their environment, and assessing the relevance and impact of those interactions on climate change or climate adaptation is complex but critical.
– The business world can change, but it has to be part of an overall social movement.
