ESG Community of Best Practice - Climate in focus: navigating risks in practice

9/3/2026 12:00:00 PM

Online

Exclusively for CEDA members, join the ESG Community of Best Practice to explore why climate change is front of mind for businesses and how ESG professionals can identify, assess, and respond to physical and transition risks.

As climate impacts intensify and policy, market, and technology shifts accelerate, organisations face a dual challenge: managing escalating physical climate risks while navigating the disruptions and opportunities of the transition to a low-carbon economy. From extreme weather and supply chain disruption to regulatory change, investor expectations, and evolving business models, climate risk is increasingly shaping strategic, operational, and financial decisions.

This forum is designed to help ESG professionals move beyond high-level awareness to practical action. Participants will explore how to identify, assess, and respond to both physical and transition climate risks, and how to translate climate insights into decision-ready information that supports resilience and long-term value creation.

Key areas of focus include:

Understanding how other organisations look at physical climate risks across operations, assets, and value chains
Assessing transition risks and opportunities linked to policy, regulation, markets, and technology
Integrating climate risk and opportunity into ESG strategy, enterprise risk management, and business planning
Using climate analysis to support credible decision-making, stakeholder confidence, and strategic advantage

Through applied examples from community members, peer discussion, and shared learning, this workshop equips ESG and Sustainability professionals with the tools and confidence to navigate climate risk as a core business challenge.

Additional speakers to be confirmed.
