Accountants: Changing the Course of Climate Change
To increase awareness of business and the profession on the impacts of climate change and the necessary actions, MIA is organising its inaugural Climate Change Conference 2020. Delegates can expect to learn a great deal about:
- the overall landscape and impacts of climate change risks;
- establishing and ensuring effective climate leadership and climate governance within corporate boards and C-suites
- climate change and impacts on business
- reporting on climate change through the adoption of climate change reporting standards that are integrated with the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) frameworks.
- specifically, how accountants can help to counter climate change.
The Conference has lined up stellar speakers who are experts and advocates for climate action, including:
- Simon Tay, Executive Director, Professional Practices & Technical, Malaysian Institute of Accountants
- Shamsul Bahar Mohd Nor, Chief Executive Officer, Malaysian Green Technology Corporation
- Datin Seri Sunita Mei-Lin Rajakumar, Founder, Climate Governance Initiative Malaysian Chapter
- Karen Westley, Vice-President Environment, Shell Global
- Nasha Lee, Environment Analyst, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Malaysia
- Mohamed Rozani Osman, Senior Financial Sector Specialist, World Bank
- Angelia Chin-Sharpe, Chief Executive Officer and Country Head, BNP Paribas Asset Management, Malaysia
If the profession and businesses can join hands with policy-makers and civil society against climate change, there is still hope for the wellbeing of the planet and future generations. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres said in September 2019 at the Climate Action Summit, “the climate emergency is a race we are losing, but it is a race we can win.”
