Climate Reporting with GRI and IFRS Standards
Why does climate reporting matter? How can you respond to the growing global demand for transparency around climate-related impacts? What constitutes robust climate reporting - from tracking emissions to developing transition and adaptation plans, all while considering the effects on people throughout the process? These are some of the questions addressed in this course. With a variety of reporting instruments available, the course focuses on the two instruments that can best support your comprehensive climate reporting journey: the GRI Standards and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. In addition, we share practical tips to help you get started, along with a case study from an organization that has already gone through this process and can offer valuable lessons from their experience.
