Presented by the Canada Climate Law Initiative
Directors are increasingly aware that policymakers and regulators view management of climate-related financial risks as a core business issue. The question is how to get the board's attention on issues facing the company or the sector in which it operates given the rapidly developing knowledge on physical and transition risks arising from climate change. The panel will share their insights and strategies for getting climate change on the board agenda, will discuss the legal obligations of directors in this respect, and will share principles and best practices that can effectively guide board decisions.
