Climate action and the accountancy profession: building a sustainable future

Climate change is undoubtedly a current threat that we must address without any delay. Very few organizations are moving at a pace to deal with the devastating and world-changing events that a changing climate brings. To overcome these challenges, organizations will need to formulate a climate strategy and place finance and accounting experts at its centre. They should start by focusing on the integration of financial knowledge and sustainability in areas such as business strategy, governance, accounting frameworks and standards, the path to decarbonisation.
