Introduction
Climate risk is increasingly recognized as a core financial risk affecting asset values, portfolio performance, and long-term investment stability. Investors, asset managers, pension funds, and financial institutions are now required to assess both physical and transition climate risks when making investment decisions. These risks arise from extreme weather events, long-term environmental changes, policy shifts, technological transitions, and evolving market dynamics tied to climate change.
The Climate Risk Investing Training Course provides participants with practical knowledge and analytical tools to identify, measure, and manage climate-related risks within investment portfolios. The course focuses on climate risk modeling, scenario analysis, stress testing, ESG integration, and risk mitigation strategies. Through applied case studies and investment simulations, participants will gain the skills needed to integrate climate risk considerations into portfolio construction, asset allocation, and long-term investment strategy development.
