Climate: TPT – Getting Adaptation on the Agenda

Faith Ward, CRIO at Brunel was an intrinsic part of the team developing resources on behalf of Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT). In addition to being a member of the TPT Delivery Group, Faith co-led the working group on adaptation, creating a dedicated primer for preparers on adaptation. The guide tackles adaptation-specific issues to consider when planning corporate adaptation, such as handling deep uncertainty, risk assessment, synergies and trade-offs with mitigation, and prioritizing early action, and priorities for policymakers on what more needs to be done to strengthen adaptation within the transition plan ecosystem. This work ensures adaptation is included in corporate climate transition planning and compliments the wider suite of resources available for corporates, assets managers and asset owners.

TPT’s outputs support the creation of consistent, comparable company reports, and reduce the level of disclosure complexity faced by firms. Brunel is already embedding transition plan disclosure requirements into its climate stewardship requirements and envisages transition plans becoming a core requirement in its climate strategy.
