Cambridge CISL's climate-specific short course: eight facilitated online weeks that move from climate risk and opportunity through decarbonisation case studies to a tailored net-zero transition action plan for your own organisation. CPD-certified (~74 hours) with a Cambridge digital certificate — practical transition planning rather than formal SBTi methodology training, and honest about being the strategy layer that sits on top of the accounting.
