Climate change now shapes access to capital, supply chains, insurance, regulation and public trust, and executives are expected to answer for their organisation's emissions and its resilience. Over five days, senior leaders and the specialists who advise them learn to turn climate ambition into measurable action. You build a greenhouse gas inventory under the GHG Protocol across Scope 1, 2 and 3, and set targets and decarbonisation pathways, including science-based and net-zero approaches.
You also screen physical and transition risks, use scenario analysis, plan adaptation measures for facilities, communities and value chains, assess carbon markets and offsets with caution, and prepare disclosure aligned with ISSB and TCFD-style reporting. Directors, chief executives, sustainability and environment managers, finance heads, risk officers and policy advisers from companies, banks, government bodies and development organisations will find the content immediately useful. Delivery is by classroom in multiple cities, online or in-house for a leadership team, with a CPD-accredited certificate on completion. Afterwards you can brief a board on emissions performance, challenge claims of climate progress and approve a credible, costed action plan.
Executives face rising expectations from lenders, investors, customers and regulators to show that climate exposure is understood and managed. Floods, droughts, heat and shifting energy markets affect operations in Africa and elsewhere, while carbon border measures and buyer requirements push suppliers to measure and cut emissions. Organisations that cannot quantify their footprint or explain their adaptation choices risk higher costs and lost opportunities.
The programme combines strategy with technical grounding. Participants begin with climate science essentials, policy frameworks and the business case, then learn carbon accounting step by step: boundaries, activity data, emission factors, calculation tools and verification. The programme then moves to target setting and decarbonisation planning, climate risk and vulnerability assessment, adaptation options and resilience investment, and finally to governance, internal carbon pricing, offsets and sustainability disclosure.
Teaching uses a fictitious but realistic organisation whose data participants analyse across the week, supported by calculation templates and short executive briefings. Each participant finishes with a draft emissions baseline, a prioritised list of reduction and adaptation actions and an outline board paper.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
