On the 21st of April 2020 at 09.30/16.30 (CET) the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) is hosting a webinar on "What does effective climate-related financial disclosure really look like?".
This webinar will explore how to overcome common TCFD implementation challenges and provide practical guidance and examples of good practice for disclosing climate-related financial information.
2020 is already proving to be a critical year for mainstreaming climate change risk reporting globally. The EU has stated that climate and environmental disclosure must improve to meet the commitments of the EU Green Deal, the UK Green Finance Strategy expects all publicly listed companies and asset owners to disclose climate-related risk and opportunities by 2022 and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) now counts on more than 1,000 supporters globally.
While the increased demand for TCFD-aligned reporting has resulted in a positive update of climate-related disclosure, it has also led to some confusion in the market and calls for better guidance on implementation. Companies frequently ask what constitutes an effective TCFD-aligned disclosure, where should the disclosure be made and what does good practice looks like in reality. This webinar is aimed at providing support and guidance on best practices.
Discussion topics:
- How to prepare effective climate-related financial disclosures useful to investors;
- Overcoming common challenges and misconceptions in implementing the TCFD recommendations; and
- Examples of good practice from financial and non-financial sectors globally.
