Climate and ESG risk management is rapidly moving from risk identification to quantitative measurement and model-based decision-making. This advanced course provides a practical deep dive into the methodologies, data challenges and implementation considerations involved in modelling climate and ESG risks within financial institutions. Participants will explore approaches for modelling transition, physical and biodiversity-related risks, assess their integration into credit risk frameworks, and evaluate the strengths and limitations of different quantitative methodologies. Through case studies, group exercises and expert-led discussions, the course equips participants with practical knowledge that can be directly applied to climate and ESG risk modelling, validation and stress-testing initiatives.
