Situation
You've conducted a preliminary climate risk assessment which should serve as the basis for responding to SB261 and for improving your company's ability to manage climate risk.
Now you want to make sure that work is complete, correct, and of sufficient quality to count as a "good faith effort" to analyze climate risk.
Challenge
The problem is that you can't effectively protect your organization or motivate them to protect themselves unless those risks are integrated into your business strategy in a simple, clear way that your organization understands and feels immediately connected to.
Response
The real value in the exercise comes from having a strong and clear transition strategy that answers the following questions:
- What is our role in a world affected by climate change?
- What are we willing to do to speed up the energy transition and to promote social resilience?
- What are the worst risks we face and how can we improve our odds?
What constitutes a "good faith effort" to analyze climate risk?
Transition Strategy is the second pillar of TCFD and it is what brings practical sense to risk analsysis. It is also often the least developed aspect of climate risk work.
Very few vendors offer a credible approach to these issues, and none can rival our combination of experience, quality, and individual focus on your specific needs.

Response Approaches
Drag each risk and its response to the corresponding category to validate your understanding.
TCFD is a generic standard that can produce the unintended effect of encouraging companies to focus predominantly on physical and legal risks that feel distant or hard to take ownership of. In fact, climate risk analysis should feel immediate, practical, and connected to your daily business objectives. We have attempted to illustrate this in the exercise below

TIRED OF WORKING HARD ON SUSTAINABILITY REPORTS THAT FEEL LIKE A LAUNDRY LIST OF SUPERFICIAL ACTIONS THAT ARE FAR REMOVED FROM WHAT YOUR COMPANY IS WILLING AND ABLE TO DO?
WE'LL BUILD A CLIMATE RISK ANALYSIS YOUR EXECUTIVE TEAM FINDS CLEAR, REALISTIC AND VALUABLE, OR YOUR MONEY BACK
Most companies are not effectively integrating climate risks into their business decision making. Instead, they are:
Paying for compliance without producing any value
Working hard without developing any sense of real leadership
Failing to take meaningful action that benefits their company and the environment
Don’t let it happen to you
Transition Strategy
Regardless of TCFD’s vague and light requirements in this area, a real transition strategy answer the questions:
What is our role in a world affected by climate change?
What are the worst risks we face and how can we improve our odds?
What are we willing to do to speed up the energy transition and improve social resilience?
By developing a robust transition strategy, not only will you comply, you’ll also realize that your company wants to take action, is already taking action, and sees significant value in the work you are doing to align climate strategy with business strategy
