CLIMATE GOVERNANCE
Climate governance focuses on integrating climate considerations into corporate strategies, so that organizations are well equipped to recognize climate related risks and opportunities and act on them. Boards, being accountable for the long-term stewardship of their companies, are responsible for setting up suitable governance mechanisms that include appropriate climate consideration across their organizations, in order to facilitate long-term resiliency.
Climate governance is crucial because it guides how countries and organizations work together to mitigate climate change, adapt to its effects, and promote sustainable development while ensuring global cooperation.
Today, investors take into account companies’ efforts to manage climate-related risks and opportunities, given that climate change will inevitably impact investment returns. Therefore, being proactive on climate governance-related topics makes your company more competitive and leaves it open to a wider range of financing opportunities.
The private sector plays a significant role, via financing, developing innovative technologies, investing in renewable energy, implementing sustainable practices, and partnering with governments to achieve climate goals.
Effective climate governance involves setting emissions reduction targets, creating policies and regulations, promoting renewable energy, enhancing climate resilience, fostering international collaboration, and engaging stakeholders at all levels.
We provide access to a global network of experienced board members and organize knowledge sharing events and targeted white papers, to build a platformfor exchange of knowledge and best practices.
We provide the opportunity to engage with leading experts, standard setters and public authorities in order to advance climate-friendly policies and assist companies in promoting this objective.
