09:00 FIRESIDE CHAT | Apple’s roadmap to carbon neutrality Hear from Apple’s Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, Lisa Jackson, about the company’s commitment and plan to become carbon neutral across its entire business, manufacturing supply chain, and product life cycle by 2030. Apple is already carbon neutral today for its global corporate operations, and this new commitment means that by 2030, every Apple device sold will have net zero climate impact. From its complex international supply chain, to the energy it takes to power a customer’s use of its product, Apple’s mission to eliminate its carbon footprint signals a new era of innovation for the company. Lisa Jackson, Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, Apple Moderated by: Lisa Davies, Editor, The Sydney Morning Herald

09:20 IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS | Climate risk and response: Physical hazards and socioeconomic impacts How could earth’s changing climate impact socioeconomic systems across the world in the next three decades? After more than 10,000 years of relative stability – the full span of human civilisation – the Earth’s climate is changing. As average temperatures rise, climate science finds that acute hazards such as heat waves and floods grow up in frequency and severity, and chronic hazards, such as drought and rising sea levels, intensify. A year-long, cross disciplinary research effort by McKinsey & Company sought to understand the nature and extent of physical risk from a changing climate over the next one to three decades, exploring physical risk as it is the basis of both transition and liability risks. Dr. Jonathan R. Woetzel, Senior Partner, McKinsey & Company, Director, McKinsey Global Institute, and Co-Chair, Urban China Initiative
