Course Overview
Climate change is recognised by the World Economic Forum as the single most important risk facing the global economy. The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report indicates that the impact of global warming could be substantially more significant on global GDP growth rates than the global financial crisis of 2008 – 2010. Therefore, climate change is important to finance. This course provides an understanding of the nature of climate change, drivers and solutions and applies this to the world of finance through use of case studies and relevant exercises.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the fundamentals of the science of climate change
