Getting Started: Assessing your climate-related risks, opportunities and current position
The first stage of preparing a transition plan is understanding your organisation’s current position. Our first 'Getting Started' module equips non-executive directors to do this by understanding and assessing climate-related risks and opportunities, measuring emissions and identifying key levers.

We are talking about something that is fundamentally not novel [transition/strategic planning]. What is novel is the speed and the nature of getting emissions down by changing the business model.
