Climate Change: Risk Management in the Banking Sector (online course)

UNEP Finance Initiative · Geneva, Switzerland

SpecializationClimate risk & disclosure (banking)Online

Climate risk taught inside the UN's own partnership with the banking industry — the body that convened the original TCFD banking pilots. Three tutor-led weeks on physical and transition risk, scenario analysis and the ISSB/TCFD disclosure architecture, taught by practitioners like David Carlin and run in English, Spanish and French. A UNEP FI certificate rather than a designation with an exam register — the GARP SCR's shorter, more applied cousin, priced for bank training budgets.
