Climate Transition Plan, Nature Transition Plan, or Both?

Climate and nature are not separate challenges—they are fundamentally interconnected dimensions of a single planetary crisis. However, corporate responses often remain compartmentalized, with Climate Transition Plans (CTPs) that do not yet fully reflect the critical role of nature. This fragmentation can result in degraded ecosystems, weakened resilience, and missed opportunities to deliver truly transformative, systemic impact.

As companies elevate nature alongside climate in their sustainability strategies, a key question emerges: Should nature be embedded within existing Climate Transition Plans, or does it require a distinct, stand-alone framework?

Join BSR and member company guests for a timely conversation on:

• Why recognizing nature as foundational—not supplemental—is essential for credible and successful transition planning approaches
• How to communicate the inseparable links between climate and nature in strategic planning and disclosure
• How emerging guidance, expectations, and regulatory trends may shape future transition planning

This session will offer strategic insights for companies seeking to align climate and nature action in a way that maximizes credibility, coherence, and long-term value.

Tentative Agenda:

1. BSR Presentation: Approaches to connect nature and climate via transition plans
2. Fireside Chat with BSR members: Company experiences with climate and nature integration in transition plans
3. Q&A
