    Sarah Barker, MinterEllison, guest speaker

    Head of Climate & Sustainability Risk Governance at the Asia-Pacific's largest commercial law firm, MinterEllison, will talk about climate change is not just about polar bears and disappearing forests. She will help us think about this key environmental issue in different relevant contexts – from health outcomes to financial wealth and legal liability.

She brings the practical perspective as an experienced non-executive director in the financial services sector, having recently completed two terms on the board of one of Australia's largest pension funds.

    Sarah is a non-executive director of the Commonwealth Climate & Law Initiative, sits on the SteerCo of the Australian Chapter of the international Climate Governance Initiative, and on the Australian Accounting Standards Board's Sustainability Reporting Advisory Committee.
