Meet one of our plenary speakers for the Sixteenth International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts and Responses, Victoria Hurth!
Dr. Victoria Hurth is Senior Associate at the University of Cambridge’s Institute for Sustainability Leadership and Visiting Fellow of Cambridge Judge Business School. She describes herself as a ‘pracademic’, taking a pragmatic interdisciplinary approach to the drivers and solutions of organisational responses to climate change and sustainability,. She has a Master’s in Environment and Development from the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal and completed her PhD (Exeter) on the role of marketing as a driver of sustainable/unsustainable consumption. Her research and practice now focuses on purpose-driven organisations and the implications for culture, governance and strategy. She has been a British Council ‘Climate Change Ambassador’ and a climate change advisor for a UK MP. She is currently a member of the UN Task force for developing methodology for SDG indicator 12.6.1. and the Convenor of ISO37000 – the first global standard on Governance of Organisations.
How can we access the plenary presentations?
@Catherine Sang, Plenary sessions will be uploaded the conference microsite later that say. You can access them (once they are available) by clicking on the session in the schedule and scrolling toward the bottom of the page. If the video is not there yet, check back again later.
Dr Hurth's focus on Marketing is much appreciated. In Australia it took massive bushfires to 'market' the need for action on climate change and a climate change party was elected. With each Australian supprted by about $30,000 worth of mineral and fossil fuel exports it was begin to hard to turn away. Here in the USA one Party is still in heavy denial despite the storms and fires.
I set out to make education of the deniers possible with examples of a Standard Cumulus Cloud Day unit of RF=25 w/m2 as being easier to appreciate than Watts/ m2 and indeed it is equivalent to offsetting 63,300 tons of CO2 or 18,400 tons of Atmospheric carbon and results in 600,000 kWh of cooling per day over that sq km
So a marketing approach is much appreciated as part of the overview.
