This event has passed
With the Paris Climate Agreement, international agreements were made to prevent the average temperature from rising more than two degrees Celsius by 2050. To reach this goal, it is important that you reduce your negative impact to a minimum. Among other things, by reducing your CO2 emissions and energy consumption. In this Community of Practice, you will align your organisation's climate strategy with the Climate Agreement.
Your climate strategy in line with the Paris Agreement
In this Community of Practice, you meet four times with the same group to work on your organisation's climate strategy. Uniquely, you do this together with companies with a similar objective, so you act together and learn from each other. You do this partly by discussing what you encounter and exchanging practical experiences with each other.
You will receive guidance from three expert organisations: Climate Neutral Group, South Pole and Carbon Trust. A key method for this: Science Based Targets (SBTs). These are science-based emission targets that, in proportion to the nature and size of your company, are sufficient to meet the Paris Climate Agreement. You will learn more about this method and explore how it supports your organisation in setting and achieving your targets;
Via an intake interview, you determine your personal learning goals in advance, to which we link interim assignments. You then deal with implementation issues in the group. How do you steer towards your objectives? How do you gain internal support and approval from your management? How do you communicate and report on them?
"From the CoP, I not only got a lot of useful knowledge, I also got a lot of energy from it."
Martijn Oudshoorn, Sustainability advisor at PGGM
In short: here's what it gets you
You will prepare your business for the European Union's climate policy
You will learn what Science Based Targets are and how your organisation can start working with them
You will create internal support for your climate goals by applying a proven methodology
You strengthen your network by working in a close group of companies with similar objectives
You contribute from your role to preventing further global warming
Participants give this programme an 8 and are enthusiastic about the combination of insights, practical implementation and knowing which steps to take to continue working on this theme.

What are Science Based Targets?
Science Based Targets (SBT) are targets based on scientific insights. They provide a thorough analysis of your emissions and reduction plans.
