ESG Fundamentals: Climate Risk Management   

Course Details

Climate change is rapidly emerging as a threat to the stability of our financial systems. More frequent and severe weather events are damaging infrastructure and disrupting supply chains.

Transition to a lower carbon economy is bringing new policies, regulations and rapid changes to market dynamics. And some carbon-intensive companies are already facing challenges over their contributions to climate change. Together, these trends threaten to bring serious financial risks to companies and their investors, lenders and insurers.
