Climate & Sustainability Consulting

Leaders around the world are responding to calls for new governance structures to meet Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) regulatory changes. Leaders are developing strategic and action plan to address the numerous risks ahead e.g., harm to assets/projects, supply chain disruptions and litigation risks, among others. These strategies focus on developing preventive, anticipative and absorptive capacities, which are essential.

In reality though, there is a massive gap between scientific recommendations and the actions being taken by leaders globally. According the international climate science community and the UN, we are still nowhere near the scale and pace of emission reductions required to put us on track toward a 1.5degC scenario (refer to the global thermometer image). Leaders around the world at all levels in the corporate, academic, government, and NFPs sectors will need to collectively achieve a 45% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, in the next 8 years, to keep the 1.5degC within reach. This means having to develop deep adaptation and transformation capacities.

What leaders need

For over 10 years, ProVeritas Leadership, has been helping organisational leaders and their teams develop the necessary capabilities to succeed and flourish in the 21st Century through blended training and coaching programs. However, the climate emergency now calls for a radically new approach to developing and coaching leaders. Leaders and their teams will therefore need assistance with:

• Understanding and internalising (cognitively and emotionally) the interconnectedness between human activity and our increasingly fragile ecosystem.
• Co-creation of safe conversation spaces for leaders and teams to identify the most appropriate strategies and action plans.
• Facilitation of a paradigm shift within organisations and their own ecosystem, to embed new mindsets into the organisational culture.
• Development of new strategies and action plans that empower and motivate engagement with all stakeholders.
