TRAINING COURSE

Climate risk: how to manage climate risk in a data deficient world?

Is your organisation struggling to develop effective climate change strategies due to a lack of data? Join our specialised training session designed to help you understand the tools to navigate these challenges.

This course is addressed to Board members, executives and risk function aiming to build robust resilience towards climate-related risks, and are conscious of the constraints due to lack of availability for relevant data.

We will initially discuss about how to identify crucial information, and how to obtain and use data proxies to bridge the gap. Then, we will explore how to integrate these insights into risk management frameworks whether already existing or developed for this purpose.

Finally – we will provide examples of how to use qualitative information when quantitative data is scarce.
