The World Economic Forum under its Climate Governance Initiative has developed a set of principles for good board governance on climate change. It is also calling for global networks of directors to be forged to help establish these principles in practice and to drive forward action on the net zero carbon challenge.

In the UK, a network of chairs, audit chairs and other non-executive directors, named Chapter Zero,  was set up earlier this year and its membership (which is free) is predictably expanding given the centrality of climate related issues.
