Public Lectures

Rutherford House lecture theatre 1 (RHLT1), Pipitea Campus, Victoria Business School

This lecture is hosted by The Brian Picot Chair in Ethical Leadership at Victoria Business School in partnership with Transparency International New Zealand.

During his presentation James will share his in depth knowledge of climate change and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and discuss how transparency about climate change and emissions reporting will lead to a better future.

Victoria University of Wellington is the first New Zealand University to sign up to an international initiative known as the University Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 17 SDGs, agreed by all UN member countries in 2015, aim to tackle poverty, promote prosperity and well-being for all, protect the environment, address climate change, and encourage good governance and peace and security.

Victoria Business School has also made a firm commitment to promote and engage with the SDGS as an Advanced Signatory of UN Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME)

At the end of the lecture there will be opportunity to ask questions, followed by a cash bar and canapés to continue discussions. Please share this invitation with your friends and colleagues.
