OVERVIEW

Sustainability and climate change are now issues that are moving beyond corporate lip service into real world business costs, challenges, and opportunities.

Leaders and managers with some familiarity on climate change would know of the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement. However, the details and business implications of these treaties may not be well understood by non-specialists.

Many corporates have set climate-neutrality / net-zero targets and will have to decide a pathway towards net-zero. In practice, corporates will need to make step-by-step decisions on the breadth and depth of their greenhouse gas emission reductions (direct, and indirect). They will also need to decide on the role of carbon credits in their transition period, and in their steady state (i.e. offsetting non-abatable emissions in the long-run).

This programme breaks down the issues, and will help participants to understand and to take advantage of climate change opportunities today, and in the near future.
