Course description
We are very happy to share that this course was selected by FindCourses as TOP 10 ESG PROGRAMMES IN 2024!
The course is delivered as a live virtual 1 day session on 21 Mar 2024 from 9 a.m. until 5.30 p.m. UK time.
Sustainable Finance and sustainability risks linked to Climate Change are now in the focus of public and political attention. Initiatives including Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Climate Agreement, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) as well as increasing mandatory requirements (the EU Sustainable Finance Action Plan, the UK SDR & TCFD) as well as developing global standards (ISSB) have provided a roadmap for sustainability for governments, regulators, and investment firms.
By integrating sustainability criteria into investment decisions, asset owners and managers have a great potential to change markets and to shape sustainable economic systems, to enable public and private organisations embrace circularity and ultimately deliver the move to credible Net Zero emissions targets.
Increasingly understanding climate and sustainability risks in asset portfolios, has become both a business imperative and subject to regulatory scrutiny and controls.
By attending this very practical 1 day course conducted by a market practitioner you will learn about the key requirements for Climate Change investing, explore the characteristics of sustainable financial products and their investment potential and learn how to incorporate sustainability into asset portfolios.
