Climate change not only impacts organizations through extreme weather events and physical impacts, it bites via so-called transition risks as well. These risks are the potentially adverse effects of humanity’s response to climate change. And some of the world’s biggest companies, representing nearly US$17 trillion in market capitalization, value the climate risks to their businesses at almost US$1 trillion, mostly in asset write-offs.
This course helps corporate and financial sector professionals be prepared and manage transition risks. It identifies what a low carbon economy is, and what its drivers are. It also helps participants to find their way in the wide range of regulations aimed at decarbonisation. The course will help participants recognize the different ways in which transition risk transmits into financial impact, and allows participants to estimate the materiality of transition risks to their organizations.
