Chapter Zero

Chapter Zero, the philanthropically funded Directors’ Climate Forum, is one of the founding Chapters of the Climate Governance Initiative – a global network of 33 Chapters in 73 countries. Its purpose is to equip and inspire Chairs and NEDs to lead on climate from the boardroom.

Chapter Zero operates from a UK base with a global impact. As an incubator of best practice, toolkits and thought leadership that are disseminated around the world, Chapter Zero delivers briefings and masterclasses for its vibrant peer-to-peer community. Our programmes bring the latest thinking and practical experiences of board oversight and governance for the climate transition.

With 3,500+ members, Chapter Zero is represented on the boards of 77% of FTSE 100 and 71% of FTSE 250 companies, over half of the UK’s large private companies as well as representation from government, arms’ lengths bodies and civil society boards.
