Plan, adapt, implement: #CTS2023 workshops to guide your effective climate actions

The CLIMATE TRANSFORMATION Summit 2023 is getting closer and just as promised we are ready to announce the expert’s workshops! Climate transformation is urgent and pressing and it's forcing businesses to adapt. Companies need to look beyond their financial performances, but it is becoming crucial to reflect on how they run their business impacts the environment and society, and what needs to change. So how can you be equipped for planning, adapting, and implementing climate action?

To accompany you on this journey we have planned 2 workshops sessions on the 11th and 12th of May from where you can choose the topic you're most interested in. These workshops are designed to provide hands-on training, knowledge sharing, and practical advice from experts in the field.

 Here are some of the workshops that will take place on May 11th and 12th! Get your ticket and sign up for your session before they fill up.

4. Stop playing hide-and-seek: How to leverage integrity and credibility for real climate action

The “One Planet Business by WWF”-Team will showcase approaches and tools by which to enhance the integrity and credibility of companies’ climate action.
