At this one-day event, members will be asked to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in by deciding the Forum’s key objectives and joining one of the Working Groups that will be tasked with realising our goals.
Members will hear from speakers including:
- Mark Gough, Executive Director of the Natural Capital Coalition, who will speak on the global implications of the natural capital agenda for business and government and his organisation’s work at the international level to bring about this integration
- Edward Wright, Sustainability Director at Business in the Community Northern Ireland, who will speak about how to make natural capital make sense for business. He will talk about BITCNI’s ‘Biodiversity Charter’, profile examples of good practice in Northern Irish companies and consider how business engagement with natural capital can be developed on an all-Ireland basis
Additional speakers will be announced in the coming weeks
