Introduction
Climate transition risk finance has become a critical area of focus for financial institutions, corporations, regulators, and investors as the global economy shifts toward low-carbon and sustainable development models.

Organizations must therefore understand how transition risks influence financial performance and how to develop strategies that protect investments while supporting climate-aligned growth.
This Climate Transition Risk Finance training course provides practical knowledge and analytical tools required to assess, manage, and finance transition risks associated with climate change. Participants will learn how to evaluate financial exposure to policy changes, carbon costs, and technological shifts, integrate transition risk into financial planning, comply with climate disclosure frameworks, and design financing strategies that support resilient and sustainable business operations.
