To inform boardroom discussions, the AICD in partnership with Australia’s chief scientific body, the CSIRO, have developed the Climate Change Science Snapshot 2023: An overview for Australian company directors. The publication provides accessible information on: Foundational climate concepts; The current state and future outlook of climate change, both in Australia and globally; and Key questions to guide boardroom discussions. To provide insight on how climate change may impact your entity, the resource also includes a short-form table outlining the likelihood of climate-related risks under various global warming scenarios (i.e. 1.5°C, 2°C and 3°C) and Australian industries to be impacted. Note. The resource is current as at December, 2023 and will be updated in future to align with the latest science.
