The Climate Liabilities and Assets Forum

Dear colleague,

We are a collection of climate entrepreneurs, academics, and corporate leaders working on a new framework for accounting for climate. We are excited to invite you to the inaugural Climate Liabilities and Assets Forum at Grafenegg Castle outside Vienna, Austria. 

A transformative concept has emerged to effectively bend the emissions curve. It promises to be a more rigorous, transparent, and effective system for managing and communicating an organization’s environmental impact. It is a concept of liabilities and assets. The liabilities reflect an organization’s environmental responsibility, and the assets are an organization’s positive, financed environmental solutions, which are to be recorded on the balance sheet. Different flavors of this concept have emerged in the market. 

The Climate Liabilities and Assets Forum aims to coalesce diverse perspectives from academia, industry, and regulatory bodies to develop a consensus on this emerging approach. 

The forum will consist of two and a half days of programming at the beautiful Grafenegg Castle. During these, we will engage in Vienna-style debates, pioneered at Grafenegg to harness the power of friendly, constructive collisions. The debates will cover key themes within the Climate Liabilities and Assets framework, aiming to seek the right questions and find some answers. 

Your insight and thought leadership will greatly enrich the conversation. We hope you will consider being part of this groundbreaking forum dedicated to fostering dialogue on Climate liabilities.
