The theme for the EDS 2025 conference provides a platform for discussion about the most effective interventions business leaders are taking at speed and scale, often in close collaboration with governments, across these three pillars.

Most importantly, it reflects the critical role of business in securing our ambitions for the future. With a focus on the “how,” this year’s sessions will showcase examples of cutting-edge action in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally.

The Environmental Defence Society, Sustainable Business Council and Climate Leaders Coalition are again partnering to co-host the Climate Change and Business Conference.

International speakers are:

Hon. Ralph Regenvanu, Minister for Climate Change Adaptation, Environment, Energy and Disaster Management, Vanuatu

Professor Elizabeth Robinson, Acting Dean, London School of Economics Global School of Sustainability

Lord Adair Turner, Chair, Energy Transitions Commission
