Building Climate Transition Plans in Practice
Climate transition plans are becoming a core expectation for organisations, requiring practical skills to set targets, build a roadmap, and embed the governance needed to deliver them.
Why Climate Transition Plans Matter
Climate transition plans are increasingly expected by investors, regulators, and other stakeholders as proof that an organisation's climate commitments are backed by a credible plan of action.
A strong transition plan goes beyond target-setting. It sets a clear baseline, defines a realistic roadmap, and embeds the governance needed to track progress and hold the organisation accountable.
Key drivers include:
◆ Growing investor and regulatory expectations for credible climate commitments
◆ Increasing scrutiny of targets without a clear delivery plan
◆ Greater focus on governance, accountability, and long-term delivery
Climate Transition Plan Masterclass Series
The Climate Transition Plan Masterclass Series provides practical, expert-led training to help professionals develop climate transition plans that are credible, actionable, and stakeholder-ready.
It focuses on applied learning, using published examples from companies and banks to demonstrate how to build a transition plan step by step, in a way that can be applied by organisations of any size or sector.
You will learn how to:
◆ Establish a credible baseline and set realistic targets
◆ Develop an implementation roadmap and supporting budget
◆ Embed the governance and accountability needed to deliver the plan
◆ Apply real-world examples to your own organisation's context
