The age of ‘business as usual’ is over. Organisations from across the economic landscape need their efforts towards environmental sustainability coupled with wholesale economic and societal change. The COVID-19 pandemic has already had a profound impact on corporate governance, and the global climate and nature crises pose an even greater challenge. It is more important than ever that businesses are resilient and adaptable to changing market conditions and help to lead the way in building back better.

‘Adapt to Survive’ is the first of six GEO for Business Briefs written by UNEP to better inform, engage and stimulate positive action from business leaders.

‘Adapt to Survive: Business transformation in a time of uncertainty’, will launch virtually and be live streamed via LinkedIn on February 3rd 14:00 (GMT) featuring a panel of UN and business leaders, including:

Joyce Msuya, Deputy Executive Director, UNEP

Denise Delaney, Head of Corporate Sustainability Services, ERM

Derk Loorbach, Professor & Director, DRIFT, 

Antonia Gawel, Head of Circular Economy and Innovation, World Economic Forum

Corli Pretorius, Deputy Director, UNEP-WCMC
