  • gain practical advice on the key considerations and necessary steps for developing a robust carbon risk response

Whitepaper synopsis:

The size of Australia’s challenge is not widely understood particularly if global policy is based on per capita emissions targets. Projections show that if our trading scheme covers 70% of emissions and population growth continues at the current rate, a 2050 reduction target of 60% of 1990 levels translates into a 78% per capita lowering of Australia’s emissions.

Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) professionals need to understand the essential concepts of the climate change debate, develop an understanding of their organization’s carbon risk weighting and use these to establish a GRC methodology.

A risk-based approach offers GRC professionals a robust methodology for developing a carbon risk response. The key issues are how to develop a carbon risk management system that:

  • Documents obligations (regulatory, market and corporate);
  • Translates these obligations into action plans and tasks;
  • Ensures risk ownership and accountability for action;
  • Delivers accurate and timely reporting; and
  • Allows compliance with obligations to be demonstrated and audited.

To assist GRC professionals with the complexity of Carbon Risk and provide a clear pathway to a solution, SAI Global has prepared three white papers:

  • Carbon Risk: Essential Concepts
  • Carbon Risk Weighting
  • Carbon Risk: A GRC Methodology
