Building climate and nature reporting expertise to drive corporate transparency
Published date: 22 July 2025
Two new GRI Academy courses to upskill sustainability professionals
As the global climate and nature crises continue to intensify – bringing rising temperatures, biodiversity loss, social disruptions and economic risks – the need for accountability from organizations, built on an understanding of their impacts, has never been more critical.
To support sustainability practitioners in addressing these challenges, the GRI Academy, the world’s leading training platform for sustainability reporting, has launched new courses to boost climate and nature reporting skills.
- Climate Reporting with GRI and IFRS Standards: Focusing on reporting with the GRI 102 Climate Change Standard and IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, this course delves into the need for a shift to a more holistic approach to climate reporting that includes human and biodiversity dimensions. It explores disclosure on greenhouse gas emissions, transition plans and adaptation strategies, and why reporting on climate-related risks alone is insufficient.
- GRI-TNFD Interoperability: A Guide for Nature-Related Reporting: This course unpacks why nature-related disclosures matter and how organizations can respond to growing expectations for transparency by leveraging the GRI Standards alongside recommendations set by the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures. It includes a practical explanation of new interoperability mapping – a tool to aligns reporting requirements from both frameworks to simplify and unify biodiversity disclosures.
To support sustainability and corporate reporting professionals in staying ahead of the curve and advancing their careers, we are proud to launch these two new additions to the GRI Academy. They are designed to build the key knowledge and skills needed to streamline effective climate and nature reporting, helping organizations meet growing demands for transparency as global sustainability challenges intensify.
