The Climate Ledger 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 Environmental Ledger Forum at Grafenegg Castle outside Vienna, Austria. 

In order to effectively bend the emissions curve, a transformative concept has emerged. It promises to be a more rigorous, transparent, and effective system to manage and communicate an organization’s environmental impact.  This concept creates a ledger of liabilities and assets. The liabilities reflect an organization’s environmental responsibility and the assets are an organization’s positive, financed environmental solutions, both to be recorded on the balance sheet. Different flavors of this concept have emerged in the market. 

The Environmental Ledger 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, a style pioneered at Grafenegg to harness the power of friendly, constructive collisions. The debates will cover key themes within the environmental ledger 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 environmental liabilities.
