ESG Community of Best Practice - Climate in focus: navigating risks in practice

9/3/2026 12:00:00 PM

Online

Exclusively for CEDA members, join the ESG Community of Best Practice to explore why climate change is front of mind for businesses and how ESG professionals can identify, assess, and respond to physical and transition risks.

As climate impacts intensify and policy, market, and technology shifts accelerate, organisations face a dual challenge: managing escalating physical climate risks while navigating the disruptions and opportunities of the transition to a low-carbon economy. From extreme weather and supply chain disruption to regulatory change, investor expectations, and evolving business models, climate risk is increasingly shaping strategic, operational, and financial decisions.

This forum is designed to help ESG professionals move beyond high-level awareness to practical action. Participants will explore how to identify, assess, and respond to both physical and transition climate risks, and how to translate climate insights into decision-ready information that supports resilience and long-term value creation.

The forum supports sustainability leaders to have:

- A clearer understanding of how physical and transition risks are changing.
- Practical examples of how organisations assess exposure across assets, operations and value chains.
- Insights into investor, regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
- Approaches for integrating climate considerations into strategy, enterprise risk management and investment decisions.
- Practical questions to take back to their own organisation.

Through peer discussion, and shared learning and practical examples, this workshop equips ESG and Sustainability professionals with the tools and confidence to navigate climate risk as a core business challenge.
