Shima Barakat, Co-Founder of Impact Women’s Network, said: “For this event we are thrilled to be collaborating with NatWest as our members hear from some esteemed speakers. The subject of climate change is a hugely important one and plays a major role in shaping the world we live in. Attendees will have the chance to discuss and develop ideas in roundtables on what we can do as individuals, and collectively, to deal with these real-world challenges”.
