About the lecture

Rowan Douglas will look at the risks and opportunities for business from a changing climate and the increasing public awareness of sustainability issues. He will discuss the importance of partnerships between the business and climate research communities.

Rowan will give insights from his own experience at Willis Re of the benefits that greater engagement with the academic community can bring.
