Course Overview
As the impact of climate change rise up agendas of governments and major businesses, the role of financial markets has grown. In light of the world’s collective agreement to limit our global greenhouse gas emissions, channeling credit and investment flows to mitigate the growing climate risks has made the finance markets a key force for change. This development has given rise to more stakeholders leveraging on the role of finance to direct capital in order to strengthen awareness, action and more positive impact on climate action.
This course seeks to explore climate risk as a strategic business risk interwoven into financial and non-financial markets. The course explores the growing focus on decarbonization across sectors, mechanisms behind carbon management – both voluntary and compliance – as well as the growing regulatory landscape across the region. We will also cover the rise of green taxonomies and understand how they can be applied.
