Climate Risk Assessment: Interpreting Data, Scenario Thinking and Decision Tools
About This Course
Effective climate risk assessment and management increasingly depends on the ability to interpret complex climate data and translate it into actionable decisions. As organisations face growing exposure to physical and transition risks, structured approaches to scenario thinking are becoming essential.
This course examines how climate data, scenario planning, and decision-support tools are applied to guide adaptation strategies. It covers key techniques such as physical and transition risk modelling, scenario analysis aligned with global climate pathways, and the use of risk heat-mapping and stress testing to prioritise action.
Participants will engage with practical frameworks that connect climate science with financial modelling and strategic risk management. The focus is on enabling robust, evidence-based decision-making, linking scenario outcomes to operational priorities, investment planning, and long-term resilience.
