Climate Transition Plans (CTPs) are becoming increasingly essential in guiding companies from commitments to concrete action, as various climate disclosure standards converge and investor scrutiny of CTPs intensifies. While some companies face political headwinds and stakeholder backlash as they try to address climate change, many are advancing rapidly.

BSR’s new report builds on our earlier publication, Charting the Course: Navigating the Climate Transition Plan Landscape, providing an updated view of key developments in 2025:

• evolution of the CTP landscape;
• stakeholders' expectations;
• perspectives on how the future of CTPs may unfold, moving toward approaches that integrate climate, nature, and human rights

With this report, companies will better understand the importance of having a credible CTP when combatting climate change and its impacts.

If your company is interested in CTP implementation and disclosure, please reach out to BSR’s Climate and Nature team.
