Stanford GSB Inaugural Climate, Business and Innovation Conference, February 13 2019, Oberndorf Event Center, Knight Management Center, Stanford Graduate School of Business, Stanford, CA

February 9, 2019 By admin Leave a Comment

Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) Energy Club and Sustainable Business Club are hosting the inaugural Climate, Business and Innovation conference to inform the Stanford business community of the risks and opportunities presented by climate change. More than 180 Stanford business and university students, alumni, and industry leaders in finance, food, agriculture, energy, transportation, sustainable cities, and technology will discuss how climate change will shape the future of business and inspire a dialogue on the relevance and importance of these issues to tomorrow’s business leaders.

The mission of the GSB, to “change lives, change organizations, change the world,” encourages the community to focus on the complex problems challenging our world today. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called climate change “the most systematic threat to mankind.” Climate change solutions present compelling opportunities to innovate and bring new technologies and ideas to market. Tomorrow’s business leaders will need to grapple with a world increasingly shaped by this reality and have a role to play in helping address it.

This inaugural conference will educate the Stanford GSB community about the risks and opportunities presented by climate change and how it will shape the future of business. It will inspire a dialogue around new innovations in the climate space and energize the GSB community to address these issues, either directly or indirectly, in their careers.
