About the Course
Organizations today face a dual challenge: the physical reality of extreme weather events and the economic reality of a rapid transition to a low-carbon economy. This Climate Risk Assessment course provides the structured methodology required to navigate these complexities using internationally recognized standards such as ISO 14091. You will move from basic awareness to technical proficiency by mastering the tools used to measure exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity across diverse operational contexts. The curriculum focuses on turning scattered environmental data into a cohesive risk management system that supports informed capital allocation and strategic planning. You will gain hands-on experience in five core domain capabilities: scenario-based stress testing, physical risk quantification, transition risk analysis, vulnerability indexing, and climate-related financial disclosure. This course teaches you how to apply climate models to specific business assets so you can demonstrate resilience to stakeholders and regulators.
The training acknowledges the real-world constraints you face, including data gaps in Scope 3 emissions, the high cost of technical adaptation, and the difficulty of aligning climate risks with traditional enterprise risk management (ERM) frameworks. We distinguish between what you will practice hands-on—such as building a vulnerability matrix—and what you will be introduced to at an overview level, such as advanced stochastic climate modeling. By the end of the five days, you will have a comprehensive toolkit of templates, checklists, and reporting formats designed to integrate climate intelligence directly into your organization's core decision-making processes.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
- Analyze IPCC AR6 climate scenarios to determine organizational exposure levels
- Apply ISO 14091 guidelines to conduct a formal vulnerability assessment
- Build a TCFD-aligned climate risk register for physical and transition risks
- Calculate potential financial impacts using Value at Risk (VaR) methodologies
- Design an adaptation roadmap with measurable resilience KPIs and targets
- Evaluate climate data quality and source reliability for scenario stress testing
- Navigate the reporting requirements of the ISSB S2 climate disclosure standard
- Synthesize complex climate data into executive-level dashboards for strategic buy-in
Requirements & Prerequisites
Participants should have a minimum of 3-5 years of experience in risk management, sustainability, environmental engineering, or corporate strategy. Familiarity with basic financial reporting and a general understanding of the TCFD® framework is recommended. No prior climate modeling experience is required, but comfort with data analysis and Excel is essential for the practical exercises.
