Opening Keynote I
Setting the scene – what does the future hold for global growth and markets?

Speaker:  John Woods, Chief Investment Officer Asia Pacific, Credit Suisse

It has been a tumultuous year with geopolitical shocks, an energy crisis in Europe, high inflation and aggressive rate rises by central banks. As we approach 2023 what does the future hold for global growth and markets? John Woods, Credit Suisse Chief Investment Officer for APAC, will reflect on the year that has been and where he sees the challenges and opportunities ahead.

12:30

Keynote II
The energy transition amidst an energy crisis – navigating immediate energy demands vs long term decarbonisation trajectories?

Speaker: Professor Tim Flannery, Environmental champion, explorer and scientist

Followed by fireside chat with Saul Kavonic, Head of Integrated Energy and Resources, Credit Suisse

Moderator: Ticky Fullerton, Editor-at-large, The Australian Business Review

The impetus for energy transition heightens as price spikes, tightened supply, and geopolitical conflict raise the stakes. Greenflation underscores the critical need for green energy expansion, further catalyzing the global commitment toward net-zero emissions. As companies around the world seek to mitigate the impact of climate change, many are forced to adapt, transform or even abandon their normal modes of business. This transition sees the rise of more reliable renewable energy and requires the joint effort of companies and governments to reimagine the future of energy.  Renowned energy specialists will share their outlook of the energy evolution

13:15 

Panel session I
Food Security Crisis - How can we reform our global food system for greater food security and reduced carbon emissions?

Moderator: Ticky Fullerton, Editor-at-large, The Australian Business Review

The effects of climate change, war and protectionism have intensified the critical need to develop sustainable food systems. More than 80% of the food sector’s emissions are attributed to animal-related food. How can we reform our global food system for greater food security and reduced carbon emissions? Plant-based food, cultured meats and smart agriculture technology lead the way in boosting sustainable food supply. The food industry seems ripe for reformation to achieve compound gains: increased nutrition value, food sustainability and decarbonization
