Building Your Mandatory Climate Report — Session 4: Climate Risks, Opportunities & Your Risk Register

What the webinar was about

Session 4 of NetNada’s 5-part series on building a mandatory climate report, hosted by Lochie Burke. AASB S2 is live and Group 2 reporters are now inside their first reporting period — this session covers the pillar most teams underestimate: risk management.

Climate reporting is financial reporting. The session moves from identifying physical and transition risks to quantifying their potential impact on the balance sheet, so the risks and opportunities section of your report tells a coherent commercial story rather than sitting in isolation from the rest of the disclosure.

Watch if you’re a CFO, sustainability manager, climate lead or company secretary at a Group 2 or Group 3 reporter and your climate risk register is either empty or a generic list copied from a template.

What’s covered

• The difference between physical risk (acute and chronic) and transition risk (policy, legal, technology, market, reputation), and why AASB S2 wants both
• Moving from a qualitative risk list to quantified financial impact — the step that separates a compliant disclosure from a box-ticking one
• Building a climate risk and opportunity register your auditor and your board can both use
• Connecting risk management back to the strategy, governance and metrics pillars so the report reads with one thread through it

Practical outcome

A preliminary Climate Risk & Opportunity Register you can take into your first disclosure.
