About This Course

The last decade was the hottest in the modern history.  The attention to climate change & sustainability & ESG and the related risks has been gaining significant momentum and has been climbing up the agendas of leading global policymakers, regulators, corporates and financial institutions.

As we speak the policymakers around the world are taking major steps towards a decarbonized and more sustainable economy, and the non-financial corporates are working hard to assess how this and all the regulatory & disclosure requirements is going to impact their business models and the risk & return profile of their activities & products.

This on-demand pre-recorded course is available 24/7 and is perfect fit for busy professionals who prefer to learn at their own time and pace.

The 4.5 hours long prerecorded course offer unique mix of cherry-picked content providing an end-to-end helicopter perspective on the impact of climate change, ESG  and sustainability on business and risk management activities of non-financial corporates.  In the course we deep dive into all key relevant areas including but not limited to:

  • climate & sustainability data
  • risk assessment
  • transition planning and decarbonization
  • Scenario analysis
  • strategy & innovations
  • regulations & compliance & disclosures.

The course starts with introduction into climate change & Sustainability & ESG covering the key facts, expected future developments and impacts and then explores the main relevant global initiatives.

The course then zooms into climate physical risk and climate transition risk measurement with concrete data, methodology and climate risk metrics examples.  This is then extended to evaluation of  the differences between BAU and climate specific forward looking processes such as financial planning vs climate scenario analysis or portfolio transition planning. The course concludes with exploration of approaches and strategies for decarbonization and transition planning
