In January, two headlines caught our eyes:

  • The Financial Times: “Too many boardrooms are climate incompetent“, reported that recent studies indicate that less that 7% of Board members within leading companies have environmental experience and even less have specific climate experience.
  • The Harvard Business Review: “Boards are obstructing ESG at their own peril”  highlighted the overwhelming Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) challenges facing Boards today and questioned their competence to embrace sustainability, whilst reminding us that responsibility for leadership starts at the top.

Climate is most certainly heading up the agenda in Board rooms. Many leading organisations are signing up to climate pledges and setting net-zero or other climate-related targets, and 12,600 businesses from over 160 countries have signed up to the UN Global Compact committing themselves to ramping up their climate action.

This event focuses on building the competence and confidence of coaches in working with Board members and leaders on the longer-term thinking that is essential to addressing climate change.

We invite participants to bring their questions and experience of working with senior leaders to become ‘climate competent’.

What do you need to know to enable you to do this work with business leaders?

What role can coaches play?

We envisage this event as the beginning of an on-going conversation around these issues within the Climate Coaching Alliance community.  Please join us!
