High-Level Plenary: Credible Corporate Climate Transitions: Ensuring Integrity and Feasibility

Oct 8, 2025 | 2:30 PM - 3:40 PM

Conference Room CC15 & Online

Description

As corporate climate transition plans and disclosures become more widespread, attention is shifting from ambition to credibility. Stakeholders increasingly ask not only whether corporate targets are aligned with the Paris Agreement but whether companies are making the timely investments required to achieve them—and under what conditions these investments are likely to materialise. This session will examine two key dimensions of credibility: environmental integrity, assessed through a set of robust alignment and transition metrics, and economic feasibility, shaped by enabling policies, cost dynamics and access to capital. Speakers will explore how credibility is assessed in practice, whether current transition plans are translating into real-economy action and what types of enabling policy frameworks are needed to support viable and competitive corporate climate transitions.
