Society has been increasingly impacted by the rise in climate-related natural disasters.
As business leaders, we ask “what can I do to protect society’s assets and people?”
In this virtual program Business Opportunities in Climate Adaptation, HBS senior lecturer John Macomber (MBA 1983) and a panel of HBS alumni share how business leaders are currently developing, scaling,
or investing in a range of opportunities that help society adapt to climate change—and
how you can discover and pursue these opportunities yourself.
Panelists:
Yumiko Murakami (MBA 1994), General Partner, MPower Partners
Anhad Narula (MBA 2008), Chairman, Africa Plus Partners
Carlos Riva (MBA 1982), President and CEO, Poseidon Water
