But, in order to plan for a better future, we need to understand what went wrong. What can we do better? How can we work better together towards a clean, inclusive and resilient recovery from COVID-19? What can be learnt from the health crisis for climate change? </p><p><strong>Chair:</strong> Maty Nikkhou-O’Brien, Executive Director, Diplosphere  </p><p><strong>Speakers: </strong></p><ul><li>Prof Tim Naish, Director, Antarctic Centre, Victoria University of Wellington</li><li>Mike Smith (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Kahu), Iwi Chairs Forum&#x27;s Climate Change Iwi Leaders Group</li><li>Phil O’Reilly, Chair of the Board of Business at OECD, Managing Director,  Iron Duke Partners</li><li>Catherine Beard, Executive Director, ExportNZ &amp; ManufacturingNZ</li><li>Mary-Ellen Barker, Management Due Diligence Consultant and Former Global Company News Editor, Reuters News</li></ul><p><strong>1045 – 1115	Networking Break and Refreshments</strong></p><p><strong>1115 - 1215	SESSION 2 - Building the Living Environments of the Future</strong></p><p>How will the effects of technology and climate change shape the environments of the future? As societies around the world increasingly urbanise, how can we rethink and redesign cities to meet essential mobility and infrastructure requirements? How can urban planning, mobility and resource systems – food, water, waste management – integrate technologies to reduce waste and inefficiency? What are some nature-based solutions that can also help create self-sustaining city systems?</p><p><strong>Chair:</strong> Dr Victoria Hatton, COP26 Pacific Regional Climate Change Advisor, British High Commission</p><p><strong>Speakers:</strong></p><ul><li>The Rt Hon Lord Zac Goldsmith, FCO, Department for International Development &amp; Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Minister of State</li><li>HW Andy Foster, Mayor of Wellington</li><li>Traci Houpapa, Chairman, Federation of Maori Authorities (FOMA)</li><li>Ian Proudfoot, Global Head of Agribusiness, Partner - Audit, KPMG</li><li>Andrew Eagles, Chief Executive, NZ Green Building Council</li></ul><p><strong>1215 – 1315 	Networking Lunch</strong></p><p><strong>1315 - 1415	SESSION 3 - We Want Builders!</strong></p><p>Entrepreneurs, and visionary founders change the world by building incredible products that change our daily lives. What role do startups have in transforming the way we move, eat, work, and live in a more caring manner to the planet? How can we foster this community of doers to rise to the challenge of building a sustainable post-pandemic order? COVID-19 emerged from insalubrious business practise in a market in Wuhan. But it could have happened anywhere, and is likely to happen again, unless we change. How do we ensure that we change the way we produce and consume food, from the farm gate to meal on a plate, to a clean and healthy way? How do we do so whilst keeping carbon emissions in check? Doing this sustainability is the only way we will feed more than 10 billion people by 2050, requiring a 70% increase in global food production from today. </p><p><strong>Chair: </strong>Andrea Vance, Senior Journalist, Stuff</p><p><strong>Speakers:</strong></p><ul><li>Dave Moskovitz, Chair, Global Entrepreneurship Network NZ</li><li>Catherine Clennet, Executive Director and Co-Founder, Hiringa Energy</li><li>Laura Faulconer, Investment Manager, WNT Ventures</li><li>Matt Dagger, Kaibosh Food Rescue</li></ul><p><strong>1415– 1515	 SESSION 4 - Let’s Go Build!</strong></p><p>Doing business for the rest of 21st century will not resemble the 20th century through to 2020. The very precepts of international finance and economics have been challenged by the present pandemic. With all our systems for managing risk, how could we have missed such a threat to our way of lives as this virus? Publics will demand more than just economic growth. The sight of empty supermarket shelves, and rushes on essential supplies has put the importance of global supply chains in stark relief. People are awakening to the importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) impact of any endeavour. And with over $9 Trillion spent (IMF) since March to fight the pandemic, there is an unprecedented chance to Build Back Better by incorporating ESG into the economic system, systematically. We will move from ‘why’ to ‘why not’, with sustainable investing as the new normal. How will this shape up? How can we maintain the benefits of our globalised economic system, whilst encouraging sustainable local economies? Much food for thought. </p><p><strong>Chair: </strong>Andrea Vance, Senior Journalist, Stuff</p><p><strong>Speaker:</strong></p><ul><li>Kirk Hope, CEO BuisnessNZ</li><li>Mark Baker-Jones, Climate Change Lead, Simpson Grierson</li><li>Sirma Karapeeva, CEO, Meat Industry Association</li><li>Jason Patrick,  Chief Investment Officer,  NZ Green Investment Finance</li><li>Jo Hendy, Chief Executive, Climate Change Commission</li></ul><p><strong>1515 – 1530	 Break  </strong></p><p><strong>1530 – 1600	 Clarke-Clark Keynote Conversation</strong></p><ul><li>HE Laura Clarke, British High Commissioner</li><li>Rt Hon Helen Clark, Former Prime Minister of New Zealand, former UNDP Administrator, Co-Chair of the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response (IPPR) to evaluate the world’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic</li></ul><p><strong>1600 – 1610	 Concluding Remarks</strong></p><p>Rod Oram</p><p><strong>End of conference</strong></p>
