Understanding the origins, purpose, and strategic direction of Chapter Zero Southern Africa and our place in the global climate governance movement.
Climate change presents unprecedented challenges and opportunities for businesses across Southern Africa. From physical risks like drought and flooding to transition risks as economies decarbonize, boards must navigate complex strategic decisions.
Yet many board directors feel unprepared. Climate science is complex, regulations are evolving, and the strategic implications require new ways of thinking about risk, opportunity, and fiduciary duty.
