Board Directors as Climate Stewards: Charting a Path to Adaptation

November 18, 2024

The panel discussed why non-executives’ action is important for the future of climate action and share experience across financial institutions and real sector companies on supervisory board action tackling climate issues and the difference this can make in the private sector response to the climate risks and opportunities. Key messages on boosting board action were shared, including a presentation of IFC's climate corporate governance approach and ESG Accelerator. The participants heard from the panelists on the top priorities for board action on our transition path.
