Canadian Climate Governance Experts program
Are you a board director and wondering how you should
be addressing climate governance?
October 2019
We are pleased to announce that Milla Craig will be one of the experts on the Canadian Climate Governance Experts program. Amid growing concern about climate change and the risks it poses to business conduct, this program aims to enhance boards’ climate competences with a discussion on the most effective climate governance strategies and the organization’s financial risks and opportunities in a transitioning economy.
Headed by two Canadian law professors, Dr. Janis Sarra from the University of British Columbia and Professor Cynthia Williams from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University, the program offers information sessions to corporate directors, pension trustees and their fiduciaries to enhance their knowledge on climate governance.
