LETMETELLYOU... EVERYTHING

Some people - including me - love to know what they're getting in a package.

And by this, Imean, EVERYTHING that is in the package.

So, here is a list of everything that this course covers:

  • You'll learn about the basics of climate science, how climate forecasting is performed, the different components of it, the harmful mechanics that cause climate change, and how climate change consolidates into physical damage to people or organisations;

  • You'll learn about the six major types of climate risks, and how they cause specific types of damage to people and operations:1. Agricultural and water scarcity risks 2. Coastal change risks 3. Extreme weather event risks 4. Infrastructure vulnerability risks 5. Supply chain disruption risks 6. Disaster recovery risks. As well as their characteristics;

  • You'll learn about the business implications of physical climate risks, and the usual actions that organisations take, such as performing risk management, having crisis management and disaster recovery procedures, working on infrastructure resilience or supply chain resilience, and possibly making strategic adjustments such as abandoning certain business models or geographical areas;

  • You'll learn about how to identify the six key types of physical climate risks in your organisation, and whether you are subjected to them or not, including warning signs such as historical data and trends, characteristics of operations, level of diversification, and others;

  • You'll learn about the major opportunities to hedge against the six main types of climate risks, with specific opportunities against each type of risk, including general patterns such as leveraging technology, diversifying supply chains, changing operations or even business models, and others;

  • You'll learn about some characteristics of the strategic and operational integration of these practices to hedge against climate risks, including tactical measures such as prioritisation of measures, emergency preparedness and response plans, and "quick wins" with initiatives to obtain support, and strategic alignment such as integrating physical climate risks into strategic planning, reenginering supply chains or business models, and large infrastructural or technological roll-outs;

  • You'll learn about specific examples of implementing sustainable initiatives, for climate resiliency such as planting mangroves in coastal areas or building storm-resistant buildings, all of these with boilerplate templates for ROI, value proposition, marketing and branding benefits, alignment with CSR strategy, common emission factors, implementation roadmap and common challenges;
