Workshops in a Box

About

Workshops in a Box are a series of presentation materials that inform and educate on the GFANZ Net-zero Transition Plan (NZTP) framework. The presentations contain all the information needed to hold workshops with minimal preparation and can be held independently of each other.

Further information for trainers (those who will deliver the workshops) is available below.

Presentation materials are designed to be equally useful for anyone wishing to self-educate on the framework. Slides highlighted for audience participation can instead be used for individual reflection on the implications of the content.

NZTP themes

The NZTP framework encompasses ten components grouped into five themes, which together cover what GFANZ considers the vital elements of any credible net-zero transition plan.

The recommendations and guidance for each component, along with case studies for discussion and relevant topics to consider, are presented in the five theme workshops.

For trainers

When using these workshops for training purposes, please note that all information needed to host a coherent workshop is present on the slide decks. In case of questions, please refer to our Practitioners’ FAQ and the GFANZ publications.

There is no prescribed order; each workshop can be used independently, allowing trainers to customize the series to suit their needs.

Speech bubbles highlight slides that encourage audience participation. Such slides usually contain suggested questions for discussion and reflection, or they highlight case studies that could be discussed interactively. These slides are suggestions and trainers should decide which questions and interactive sessions are appropriate for their circumstances. Depending on the level of audience participation, each should last roughly one hour.
