PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

Through the nature of their businesses, financial institutions are intrinsically exposed and linked to the consequences of climate change. There is the assumption that financial institutions may directly and indirectly contribute to climate change through their financing activities. How institutions choose the assets they finance, the tools and structures they use, and how they report on their activities is crucial to measuring and managing the impact of financial institution activity on our climate.

This two-part intensive online program will review the various aspects of climate change and climate risk in order to allow financial institutions to identify how and where their businesses and activities contribute to it. The module will help financial institutions undertake effective risk profiling to help identify potential climate risk hotspots, and how mitigating steps can be taken. The program will provide practical guidance on new and innovative financial products such as green, transition and sustainability-linked bonds, loans and Sukuk.
