A course academy for individuals and business decision-makers looking to tackle climate change and manage climate risks.
Why This Course Suite?
Why Understanding
Climate Risk Matters
Now More Than Ever
Climate change is no longer a distant concern—it is a pressing reality for individuals, companies, and the world as a whole. The impacts of accelerating climate change threaten our economies, our communities, and the interests of future generations.
The urgency to act has never been clearer. But global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, and the planet has already warmed by an average of 1.3°C above historical level.
The Earth’s temperature is approaching dangerous levels, and efforts to slow the warming are moving far too slowly.
As individuals, as businesses, and as policy-makers, we must rethink our understanding of and approach to the problem. By embracing systems thinking, leveraging cutting-edge tools to manage overwhelming climate information, and collaborating on innovative solutions, we can empower meaningful action.
