Overview

PLEASE NOTE: This program is currently being taught as an In Person class.

 

The physical manifestations of climate change such as wildfires and rising sea levels can have substantial effects on firms’ operations and overall economic activity. Similarly, regulatory responses to limit carbon emissions create both risks to carbon-intensive business models and opportunities for firms supporting the transition to a low-carbon world. As a result, investors, regulators, employees, and customers are increasingly requiring firms to understand, disclose, and manage the various risks from climate change. 

This 2-day course provides participants with an introduction to the various types of climate risks as well as approaches to managing these risks. We will review the science behind climate change and discuss how physical and transition climate risks can be measured and managed across both financial and non-financial businesses. Participants will leave with a better understanding of how climate change will affect their organizations, and how to minimize the risks and maximize the opportunities from a transition to a low-carbon economy.

 

Certificates and Credits

Upon completion of this course, participants will receive a Certificate of Achievement.

    Great intro class to climate risk for business

    I loved Professor Stroebel’s class on Climate Risk for Business. it was a great introduction for those of us who are passionate about transitioning into a role that targets climate change. it also seemed like a great class for those already working in the field. the class itself (different every time) was full of interesting people. great sharing of ideas and networking. I learned a lot about how climate risk impacts financial markets and businesses, measurement, etc (everything in the agenda). and it was great to learn from someone who is such an early mover/economist in this space and attends COP, is really part of the policy and conversation and change. very inspiring!

    Mind-blowing!

    This course was phenomenal! I enjoyed getting debriefed on the actuality of all things environment-related through the most interactive and animated conversations. Prof. Stroebel's point of view is inspiring and knowledgeable, and will without a doubt make you question the status quo, and even better: ignite your desire to plan next steps as an individual and/or as part of an organization. It's a MUST in every Executive's toolkit regardless of previous knowledge around the topic. This class is for anyone who is looking for inspiration on how to tackle climate change in a pragmatic way. Standing ovation for Professor Stroebel!
