Manage episode 309586577 series 3036155
Today’s episode is all about how to navigate the increasingly complex landscape of climate disclosures, sustainability reporting frameworks and green taxonomies that have emerged over the last few years. This episode will address:
- What role disclosures should be playing in driving the transition to a low carbon economy
- Recent efforts to move beyond a narrow focus on climate to incorporate factors such as nature, biodiversity and water into disclosure frameworks
- The attributes that risk and finance professionals will need to ensure that they understand the risks and are supporting the transition, not greenwashing
