ICAEW and the Met Office have announced a strategic partnership to boost accountancy professionals’ knowledge on climate science, using world-leading climate intelligence from the national weather service.
The collaboration combines the Met Office’s expertise in climate science and ICAEW’s expertise in accountancy, finance, and business leadership to support members and students to embed climate intelligence into their roles, strengthening trust and confidence in decision making, economic resilience and business competitiveness. Together, the organisations aim to make complex climate and sustainability topics accessible and relevant to finance professionals at all levels.
Learning and development materials will go live in 2027.
Alan Vallance, ICAEW CEO said: “This partnership reflects ICAEW’s ambitions to lead conversations on the issues that matter to the profession and business, and to strengthen the expertise and capabilities of our members and students for future success. Boosting understanding of climate and sustainability intelligence to improve financial decision making is integral to both ambitions and to advancing the transition to resilient, competitive economies. Working with the Met Office reflects our commitment to helping our members and the wider profession understand climate science and apply it to business decision-making.”
