Introduction

Climate change has moved from being a long-term environmental concern to a material strategic issue that directly affects business performance, resilience, and competitiveness. Physical climate risks, regulatory pressures, investor expectations, and shifting market dynamics now influence how organisations operate, invest, and grow. Businesses that fail to respond effectively face increased operational disruption, reputational exposure, regulatory penalties, and loss of stakeholder trust. At the same time, organisations that proactively address climate change can unlock new opportunities, strengthen resilience, and enhance long-term value creation.

The Business and Climate Change training course provides a structured and practical framework for understanding how climate change impacts business strategy, operations, and governance. It examines the scientific and economic foundations of climate change, translating them into clear business implications across sectors and geographies. Participants will explore how climate-related risks and opportunities affect enterprise value, supply chains, investment decisions, and long-term planning.

A key focus of this training course is supporting organisations in transitioning toward net zero emissions in a way that is credible, practical, and aligned with business objectives. The course explores mitigation and adaptation strategies, carbon accounting, the role of markets and finance, and the use of tools that enable organisations to reduce their carbon footprint while remaining competitive. By connecting climate action with strategic decision-making, this training course enables leaders and professionals to integrate climate considerations into core business processes rather than treating them as isolated sustainability initiatives.
