Join the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI), BSR and the World Benchmarking Alliance for a half-day, in-person event during Climate Week NYC focused on the role of transition pathways in guiding companies and countries toward credible climate action.
As pressure mounts for robust and transparent climate transition plans, this event will explore how local and sectoral pathways can serve as a strategic compass, helping businesses and policymakers align with national targets and long-term low-emissions strategies. Through expert presentations and multistakeholder breakout discussions, we will examine how pathways are developed, how to identify and apply the most relevant ones, and what benefits they bring across different contexts.
The agenda includes:
• Insights into the development, interpretation, and application of global, national, and sector-specific pathways
• Practical applications from high-emitting sectors and key regions, including Southeast Asia
• Reflections from company representatives from the electric utilities and hard-to-abate sectors) on how they are engaging with pathways – or why they aren’t – and what’s needed to close the gap.
• Breakout discussions to share experiences, challenges, and opportunities for alignment.
This event aims to build capacity, foster dialogue, and identify actionable solutions to help companies embed transition pathways into their climate strategies, while strengthening links to national plans and global goals.
