At the same time, global societal challenges highlight the responsibilities of businesses not only toward their shareholders, but also towards diverse stakeholder groups and particularly the environment.\n We have had a year like no other. The pandemic continues to demand the world’s attention and significant business and societal action and resources. Concurrently, the tangible impacts of our climate crisis are already manifesting across the globe and negatively impacting communities at local levels. According to the United Nations (UN, 2021), 2019 was the second warmest year in recorded history; while reduced mobility during 2020 may have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by about 6%, this is still below the 7.6% annual reduction needed to limit the devastating impacts of global warming on nature and all life on Earth.\n Global challenges such as our climate crisis cannot be addressed by single stakeholder groups and demand that businesses, governments and civil society work together to address our global climate emergency. As the UK prepares to co-host Cop26, the UN’s climate change conference seeking to stir urgent global climate action, we invite business researchers, responsible business practitioners, NGOs and scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to join us at our Second Responsible Business Symposium. The aim is to share cutting edge research and research-informed best practice in tackling the impacts of climate change on business and society, so that we can tackle the societal changes needed to develop more sustainable and resilient societies and economies going forward.\n Please see below for the full programme and confirmed speakers.\n View the Symposium's online Research Exhibition\n Responsible Business Academic Symposium Programme 2021 To attend please book your place as well as register for your chosen paper presentations using the links below. Links and joining instructions for all sessions will be emailed to registered delegates in advance of the Symposium.\n \n Day 1 – Tuesday 21st September 2021 15.00 - 15.05 Welcome and Agenda Dr Caroline Moraes, Symposium Chair, Birmingham Business School\n 15.05 - 15.15 Opening Speech Professor Matthew Cole, Deputy Dean 鶹ѡ Business School\n 15.15 - 16.15 Keynote Speech Professor Sir Dieter Helm\n Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Oxford and Fellow in Economics at New College, Oxford.
