Transition Planning In Action: A Co-Creation Workshop

12 Sep (Fri) Day 2 : 10:00 – 11:30

Corporate transition planning is gaining momentum, but ambition doesn’t always translate into execution. This interactive session will explore how board leaders and sustainability practitioners can unlock tangible progress in climate transition planning within their organizations. Hosted by Climate Governance Initiative Hong Kong (CGI HK), the session brings together insights from transition planning and transition financing experts with real-world experience. Together, we’ll explore what makes transition plans credible, actionable, and influential. Participants will engage in small-group co-creation to surface immediate, practical actions they can take to drive more robust transition planning in their spheres of influence. Aggregate insights will be shared back with the broader community via CGI HK’s channels.

Learnings:

  • Understand the evolving expectations around corporate transition planning
  • Learn from real-life corporate examples of transition planning and execution
  • Discover pathways for integrating transition planning into core business decisions
  • Gain clarity on the role individuals (especially those at board level) can play in catalyzing momentum from within

Post-Event Actions:

  • Initiate or revisit their organization’s transition planning conversations with new insights
  • Share key takeaways from the workshop with colleagues and leadership teams
  • Pilot one new action (e.g. setting interim targets, reviewing financed emissions, exploring supplier transitions)
  • Connect with peers or experts from the session for follow-up support or collaboration
