ABOUT THE COURSE

Based on The Climate Risk Landscape 2023 Report

Developing climate resilience and contributing to a sustainable future requires action today. Organisations that recognize this are seeking to better understand their climate risks and opportunities and the strategies they should pursue. Climate risk tools can assist in the decision-making process and by validating climate strategies and uncovering new insights about climate risk. The pace of development and deployment of climate risk tools within the financial sector has been breath-taking. UNEP FI’s 2023 Climate Risk Landscape report aims to assist financial actors in better understanding this diverse and dynamic landscape of climate risk tools.

  • How can financial institutions effectively integrate climate risk tools and data into their risk management frameworks, and what are some of the key challenges they may face?

  • In what ways can FIs collaborate with regulators, policymakers, and civil society organizations to accelerate the climate-resilient economy, and what role can climate risk tools play in supporting this transition?
