About the CPD course
Businesses are increasingly facing financial risks associated with climate change. Financial losses; sudden adjustments in asset values; and the increasing cost of capital are just some examples of the financial implications if these climate change risks are not effectively identified; measured; managed; monitored and disclosed. By incorporating climate financial risks into existing risk management processes and by considering the potential future pathways; organisations will be able to make their businesses resilient. This course looks at climate risk and demonstrates how risk professionals can incorporate climate change into risk management processes.
