Board Oversight of Climate Change
Effective climate change oversight does not involve a straight path or simple solution. Understand how to frame the risks and opportunities and embed a viable adaptation strategy.
The need for climate competent directors is no longer around the corner. It is an urgent reality.
Climate change has become an essential topic of discussion for many boards as investors, regulators, and other stakeholders challenge organizations to take responsibility by adopting an integrated, strategic approach to addressing the climate imperative.
As long-term stewards, directors must understand the impacts of climate change on their organizations. This includes consideration of the physical and transition risks, strategic risks and opportunities under different scenarios, oversight of internal monitoring and external reporting, and more. The consequences of inaction must not be underestimated.
This course is designed to build directors’ climate competency, by equipping directors with the knowledge, tools, and forward-thinking strategies to enhance their oversight of climate related risks, improve boardroom discussions on climate transition and increase their organizations long term competitiveness.
