Award-winning journalist Meri Fatin leads this conversation on how money drives the design of better products, buildings and systems.

Adam Carrel from Climate Change & Sustainability Services at EY is joined by Professor Anu Rammohan from UWA, Kylie Hansen from Impact Seed and Eugene Hooks from Living Edge in this timely and surprising exploration of corporate and individual choices.

If we follow the money, we can see there is positive action and good news on climate change.

This event is part of the Fremantle Design Week Conversations Series. Tickets are available for individual sessions, a whole day or the whole weekend.
