Environmental Finance: Transition plans in the CSRD and beyond

Global climate regulation is evolving from only requiring emissions disclosures to asking for transition plans. These documents, which outline how companies will address climate impact and prepare for climate risks, are required by the CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive) and the UK’s Transition Plan Taskforce, and companies must disclose transition plan-related details in their CSRD report.

In this session, hosted by Environmental Finance, David Carlin—who led the creation of UNEP Finance Initiative’s risk programming—joined Watershed’s policy team to cover:

• The details of the CSRD’s transition plan requirements, and how they interact with other regulations.
• How companies can streamline CSRD and CSDDD preparation.
• How to create a useful and compliance-ready transition plan.
