SDG Roundtable: Strategies for a Climate-Resilient World

This free event is being held in-person and virtually and is open to everyone. Registration is now closed. Please contact Corporate Relations Officer Steve Jaffee at [email protected] with any questions.

Climate-driven changes are impacting people, businesses, and landscapes–on a global scale. While attention has been placed on reducing the severity of climate change—impacts due to these changes are increasingly observed, increasingly costly, and well-documented. Aging built environments and infrastructure may not have been sized for the new realities and/or not easily adapted for future conditions. How must we respond? What actions can we take to better protect people and property to promote climate resilience? What can we learn from our international partners coping with similar changes and challenges?

Minnesota companies like Barr Engineering Co. regularly help clients understand their vulnerabilities to these risks and develop resilience strategies for their long-term success.

Join Global Minnesota on November 14 for our next Sustainable Development Goals Roundtable: Strategies for a Climate-Resilient World. In addition to insights and case studies from Barr Engineering Co., you’ll hear from other Minnesota companies learning to pivot in a changing world.

• Moody’s will provide an overview of how their physical risk catastrophe models are providing insight into current and future catastrophe risk informing business strategies, for example, with wildfire property risk mitigation, community action and utility management.
• PCL Construction, builder of our own Mall of America, will examine how these changes are impacting built environments.
• Following the presentations, there will be time for networking. Online participation will also be offered.

Presentation runs from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. with networking until noon.

If you require an accommodation, please contact our Corporate Relations Officer Steve Jaffee at [email protected].
