BY INVITATION ONLY – NBI C-Suite Roundtable Johannesburg – Degrees of Disruption: Climate Change and South Africa’s Future
October 23 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am
Climate change is no longer a distant or purely environmental concern. Its effects are increasingly shaping the conditions in which South African businesses operate – from water and energy security to infrastructure, supply chains, insurance, investment and workforce resilience.
Grounded in current climate science, the conversation will move beyond technical discussions to consider the practical implications for business strategy, adaptation and long-term resilience.
As a strategic partner to business for over 30 years, the National Business Initiative (NBI) invites you to an exclusive C-suite Roundtable exploring what South Africa’s changing climate could mean for the economy, the business environment and the strategic decisions leaders must make today.
Morning Session: Business Leadership and Transition Planning
Participants will engage directly with Professor Coleen Vogel, Emeritus Professor at the Global Change Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand, and Professor Barend Erasmus of the Gordon Institute of Business Science.
The discussion will offer a candid, forward-looking conversation designed to challenge assumptions and encourage strategic reflection on whether we are preparing for the climate we experience today or the conditions in which our organisations will need to operate tomorrow.
Attendance is limited to invited participants. Please confirm your participation by Friday, 16 October 2026.
