Liderança do Conselho para Crescimento e Resiliência: Princípios Orientadores para a Governança Climática e da Natureza

The document outlines a governance framework for corporate boards to address climate and nature challenges. It proposes four guiding principles—supervision and accountability, strategy, risks and opportunities, and disclosure and transparency—supported by three foundations: competencies and knowledge, stakeholder collaboration, and organizational culture. The guide argues that treating climate and nature as strategic drivers rather than mere compliance risks can catalyze innovation and competitive advantage.

• The implementation of governance principles relies on three essential foundations: competencies and knowledge, stakeholder collaboration, and culture.
• Boards must develop specific proficiencies to critically question how climate change and nature loss affect their business models, sectors, and geographies, though they are not expected to be scientists.
• Stakeholder engagement should be treated as a source of intelligence and opportunity rather than a compliance obligation, helping boards anticipate risks and identify coordinated solutions for shared dependencies like water and energy.
• Organizational culture, shaped by the board's purpose and values, is the catalyst that allows governance to move from aspirational to actionable, particularly in driving innovation and adaptive leadership.
• Boards are ultimately responsible for the long-term health of the organization and must ensure that climate and nature responsibilities are clearly defined, resourced, and integrated into performance frameworks and incentives.
• Strategic governance requires treating climate and nature as key drivers of change, using scenario analysis to test business model resilience against various future trajectories.
• Boards should oversee the identification of both direct and systemic risks and opportunities, utilizing frameworks like LEAP to assess nature-related dependencies.
• Disclosure and transparency should be used as strategic tools to deepen the understanding of resilience and attract capital, rather than being treated as a mere exercise in compliance.
