Over the past years, there has been a tidal wave of companies and financial institutions publicly committing to Net Zero. Now that commitments are in place, increasing attention is being paid to the transition plans that underpin the delivery of those targets. This Masterclass provides public servants and third sector representatives with a holistic understanding of private sector transition planning. It aims to equip participants with the knowledge of why transition plans matter, what to look for in a “good” transition plan and identify and mobilise the levers they have for encouraging companies and financial institutions to deliver ambitious and action-oriented plans.
