This introductory session will dive into the landscape of international voluntary and regulatory frameworks, including key components of a climate transition plan (CTP), how to make CTPs credible, and how CTPs fit into evolving stakeholder expectations for climate strategy and disclosure.

We will provide a summary of leading CTP methodologies and frameworks and share how these align with mandatory international disclosure requirements. There will also be time for discussion and sharing.
