In this FIBS Practice training you will learn
- What kind of climate scenarios are available and how to (start) use them
- What are the tools/frameworks that use climate scenarios
- What are the challenges of using climate scenarios.
Increasing number of companies are recognizing the risk climate change poses to their operations. However, bringing this aspect to company’s risk management process can be challenging. Climate scenario analysis provides a method to include climate change risk to company’s strategic planning.
In this training you will learn about climate scenarios, their analysis as well as successful disclosure of climate risks, opportunities, and climate impacts as per the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). You will gain new perspectives as we provide a critical view on the assessment of physical risks of climate change and the challenges it implies. The training will inspire you to promote the adaptation and preparedness to climate change in your organization, and provide you with an opportunity to you discuss the practical level with your peers.
