Effective Climate Governance: Insights from Chapter Zero Brussels

Wed, 31 Jan

Chapter Zero Brussels’ latest initiative is a report titled “Overcoming Barriers to Effective Climate Governance.” This survey-based research delves into challenges hindering proactive measures on Climate Change within the Board of Directors, providing insights into barriers and drivers for effective climate governance.

The report outlines barriers and drivers for effective climate governance, offering key recommendations and actions for progress. It caters to non-executive directors interested in enhancing climate governance efforts. 

The findings reveal a substantial gap between awareness and action at the board level. Despite acknowledging climate risk as material, over half of the boards are not taking any action. This is a wake-up call for non-executive directors to advocate for proactive measures, using the report's recommendations as a valuable roadmap.

In conclusion, the report emphasizes the urgent need for boards, including non-executive directors, to translate climate risk awareness into tangible actions. It provides a compelling case for why climate governance should be a top priority, offering practical recommendations on overcoming identified barriers. Let us commit to change, ensuring climate governance takes center stage in our journey towards a sustainable future.
