Climate change is shaping a new reality
Climate Governace Initiative
Greece
A Global Overview
Climate Governance Initiative Greece is part of the global Chapter Zero Alliance network, which spans more than 70 countries and supports board directors worldwide.
Through this global network of locally led Chapters, directors are supported with a clear, practical reference for embedding climate and nature into board oversight, strategy, risk and disclosure, in line with internationally recognised governance expectations.
The network combines global consistency with local relevance, enabling boards to apply effective climate and nature governance in their specific business, regulatory and market contexts
We provide access to a global resource library that is constantly renewed and updated with the latest climate governance knowledge by our global network of chapters. CGI Greece is a gateway for peer-to-peer exchange, giving the private sector access to the wealth of resources and networks to support their climate strategies at all stages.
Principles of effective
Climate Governance
the cgi method
Climate Governance Initiative Greece – part of Chapter Zero Alliance – supports board directors in governing climate- and nature-related risks and opportunities as part of their core board responsibilities.
Through the global network of locally led Chapters, Chapter Zero Alliance equips directors with the expertise, tools and confidence to apply effective climate and nature governance in the boardroom. This approach is anchored in the Guiding Principles for Climate & Nature Governance, developed with the World Economic Forum, which provide a practical framework for embedding climate and nature into board oversight, strategy, risk and disclosure.
lEARN MORE ABOUT
CLIMATE GOVERNANCE
Climate governance refers to the way boards oversee and integrate climate- and nature-related risks and opportunities into corporate governance, strategy and decision-making.
As part of their responsibility for long-term stewardship, boards are expected to ensure that appropriate governance structures, oversight processes and management accountability are in place to address these issues with the same rigour applied to other strategic risks.
As expectations on boards intensify, climate and nature are no longer peripheral compliance concerns. They are increasingly material to organisational resilience, competitiveness, investment confidence and long-term performance.
Effective climate governance enables boards to manage uncertainty with confidence and to turn climate- and nature-related disruption into opportunities for growth and renewal.
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.
