About the Course
The Climate Risk Governance & Disclosure Training Course provides participants with the essential knowledge and practical tools to understand, manage, and report climate-related risks in alignment with global sustainability and governance standards. As climate change increasingly influences financial performance, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder expectations, organizations must adopt robust governance and disclosure frameworks to remain resilient and credible.
This course explores the intersection of climate risk management, corporate governance, and transparency. Participants will gain insights into emerging international standards such as the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) guidelines, and EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requirements. The program emphasizes how boards and executives can lead effective governance systems that ensure accountability and strategic alignment with sustainability goals.
Through case studies, interactive discussions, and practical exercises, participants will learn to identify and assess climate risks, develop governance mechanisms for oversight, and communicate performance through reliable and transparent disclosures.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to design and implement climate risk governance structures, enhance disclosure quality, and strengthen their organization’s capacity to thrive in a low-carbon, climate-conscious economy.
