Climate Risk Management for Business Leaders

Course Category : Risk Management

An advanced programme enabling business leaders to assess climate-related strategic, financial, and operational risks and integrate climate resilience into governance and enterprise decision-making.
Duration: 5 Days
Level: Advanced

Introduction

Climate change has become a material consideration for business continuity, supply-chain stability, asset values, investment decisions, and organisational resilience. Climate risk management is therefore increasingly positioned within enterprise governance, strategic planning, and risk oversight rather than being treated solely as a sustainability function.
This course provides business leaders with an integrated framework for understanding physical and transition climate risks, assessing their strategic and financial implications, developing scenarios and risk indicators, and embedding climate considerations into governance and enterprise decision-making. It also addresses organisational resilience, strategic response options, and the integration of climate risk into broader enterprise risk management..
