The Energy-Water-Food Nexus: Risks and Opportunities for the Private Sector roundtable will give attendees the opportunity to assess environment-related risks to business, and to develop strategies to ensure a prosperous future.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Corporate Citizenship Center is hosting the third in a series of roundtables, The Energy-Water-Food Nexus: Risks and Opportunities for the Private Sector. The roundtables identify the nexus risks to businesses, and examine why and how leadership from the private sector, in collaboration with key stakeholders, is critical to successfully managing the synergies and tradeoffs among water, food, and energy infrastructure for the benefit of society, business, and the environment.
