Climate risk: transition plans

Defining aspirational and ambitious targets, which are backed by credible methodology is essential to successfully transitioning to a net zero, climate-resilient state. Along with the destination, it is even more crucial to understand the steps to get there. Whether you are a board member, executive or practitioner this course will help you by introducing the purpose and core characteristics of transition plans.

First, we will explore the contribution of effective transition planning to climate resilience and what defines a climate-resilient state. Having addressed the “why” and the “how” we will then walk through the critical elements and steps of a transition plan and how to evidence credibility to stakeholders.
