Location

New York

This event is for BSR members only. Members, please log in to register.

Kickstart day 4 of Climate Week NYC with BSR by joining us for a breakfast and an exclusive, closed-door discussion on Climate Transition Plans (CTPs).

As companies increasingly set ambitious climate targets, a significant gap remains between those targets and measurable progress. CTPs are emerging as essential tools for businesses to communicate robust climate strategies that meet regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations.

We invite you to join BSR experts and peers about the critical role of Climate Transition Plans. Key topics to be explored include:

• Essential elements of CTPs.
• The current landscape of CTP regulations and voluntary frameworks.
• Challenges and opportunities in developing and implementing CTPs.

This event is designed for BSR members and partners, particularly those involved in climate strategy, reporting, and the development of Climate Transition Plans.
