Climate expert to address Chamber AGM

A climate change expert will be the guest speaker at the Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce AGM next month.

Professor James Curran, know on Island as the independent chair of the Government’s Climate Emergency Consultative Transformation Team, will address members at The Nunnery via live video link on September 11.

Chamber President, Caren Pegg, will also be announcing the organisation's core objectives and strategy for 2020/21 and will explain Chamber's business manifesto for members to take forward leading up to next year's Isle of Man General Election.

This will include key questions to ask prospective candidates over their views on all the matters which will affect business on Manx shores.

Chamber Chief Executive Officer, Rebecca George, says: "This year will be Chamber’s 65th AGM, and it may be one of the most important in the organisation’s history as our members face what are unquestionably the greatest challenges we have seen since the Island became an international business centre.

"The impact of climate change and Covid-19 will both be topics that will form part of debate in next year’s General Election campaign, so our business manifesto will clearly set out Chamber’s agenda to ensure that prospective candidates and voters consider those issues."

The full schedule for AGM and how to book tickets for it is available on the Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce website.
