Overview
Entrepreneurship is increasingly seen as a powerful way to address climate change. Yet questions remain: What makes environmental ventures succeed? How can their impact be measured? And how can early breakthroughs scale into meaningful global change?
In this lecture, Professor Jeffrey G. York explores how entrepreneurship can drive the transition to a more sustainable economy. He will present a framework for how individuals, organisations, industries and governments can work together to accelerate climate innovation.
The session will also offer practical insights for business leaders, investors and policymakers on building climate-focused ventures and moving beyond the perceived trade-off between profit and sustainability.
Join us to explore how entrepreneurial ideas can translate into real environmental impact.

The series provides monthly in-person or online public lectures. Each lecture will feature a leading academic to present cutting-edge research of a specific topic, and an industry expert to moderate the session, sharing insights from the field and also tailoring audience questions in a way to better enable bridging the gap between research and practice.
