Aspiration for a Climate Change Profession
ACCO envisions the transformation of business practices by a broad range of organizations large and small; innovative partnerships that revolutionize the resiliency of supply chains; and authentic governmental engagement with the problem of climate change to achieve the scale of mitigation and adaptation that can undergird a world economy and society based in resiliency and health. Climate change officers play a key role in bringing about this much-needed transformation.

Core Competencies Required to Meaningfully Address Climate
Foundational knowledge and skills include science literacy, environmental literacy, knowledge of the policy landscape, and management acumen.
Organizational knowledge and experience include strategic planning, decision-making, compliance, enterprise risk management, asset management, the management of value and supply chains, corporate communications and corporate social responsibility, and organizational governance.
Strategic execution competencies are largely skills-based and include supporting organizational change, helping to mitigate risk, engaging stakeholders, and being actively involved in policy efforts beyond the walls of the organization and maintaining other external partnerships.

About the Association of Climate Change Officers
ACCO serves climate change professionals working in all contexts within an organization, including:
Professionals whose role and responsibilities are focused exclusively upon addressing climate change impacts upon an organization’s operations;
Professionals charged with addressing sustainability and/or environmental issues related to an organization’s operations; and
Professionals whose primary functions are in areas that are not necessarily considered environmental roles (e.g. supply chain and procurement, facilities management, risk management, investor relations)
ACCO supports the professional development of individuals in positions having any level of climate focus, providing resources, outlining professional development tracks, and connecting them to their peers in order to share successful strategies and lessons learned.
