This one day intensive course draws on Climateworks Centre’s leading research on credible transition planning, helping you to move beyond compliance – turning your plan into a practical tool to spark innovation and gain an edge in the low-carbon economy.

Open to professionals across industries, it will equip you to prepare for the net zero transition, and integrate climate targets into your day-to-day operations.
