Climate change, and our response to it, is not just an environmental issue, it is consistently rated as one of the top threats to global socio-economic stability and viability. This session will contextualise the issues from a financial risk and disclosure perspective. The drivers for quantifying and managing an organisation’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will be investigated across the value chain. Current and emerging international good practices will be used as the yardstick for establishing robust and practical plans to address both physical and transitional climate related risks and opportunities. The session will be concluded with the presentation of two simple checklists that Boards can use in their oversight of assessing and challenging Climate Change and Carbon strategy and reduction plans.
