Climate change is a major challenge due to the scale of its potential impacts and the uncertainty surrounding projections—when they will occur and how large the effects will be. In recent years, there has been growing concern about predicting, measuring, and managing the risks climate change poses. Because this is a relatively new topic, information can be limited, and this course offers a solid starting point to assess your exposure.
If you are a decision maker or a risk manager, this course will help you grasp the basics of climate-change risks and how to mitigate them to reduce their impact. If you are simply someone concerned about climate risks and how they could affect you, this course is also for you.
In this course, you will learn:
- What climate risk is and why it matters to you
- The types of climate risks and their potential impacts
- How to measure and manage climate risks
- Whether there are valuable opportunities that can arise from climate risks
There are also a few bonus lectures on green and blue bonds—innovations that have emerged in response to climate-change risks. By exploring these topics, you’ll gain practical insights you can apply in your organization or personal decision-making. The content is designed to build your understanding from fundamental concepts to actionable strategies, helping you move from awareness to effective risk management and opportunity identification in the context of a changing climate.
