Droughts, floods, heat and shifting regulation are turning climate change into an operating risk that boards, lenders and donors expect organisations to quantify and manage. Five days take participants from hazard identification to a costed response. You learn to separate physical risk from transition risk, build a climate risk register, rate likelihood and impact and prioritise adaptation actions using cost-benefit and multi-criteria tools. Scenario thinking and vulnerability assessment show how communities, assets and supply chains are exposed.
The carbon accounting strand follows the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: setting boundaries, collecting activity data, applying emission factors and compiling Scope 1, 2 and 3 inventories. You then connect results to reduction targets, mitigation options, offsetting caveats and disclosure frameworks such as TCFD and ISSB-aligned reporting. Environment and sustainability officers, risk managers, programme managers in NGOs and development agencies, county planners, agricultural and energy professionals and finance staff will find it directly relevant. Exercises use spreadsheets and case organisations to build a draft inventory and risk register. Classroom, online and in-house formats are available, with a CPD-accredited certificate.
Climate-related losses now appear in insurance premiums, project budgets and loan conditions, while governments and funders ask organisations to report their emissions and show how they are adapting. Yet many institutions still handle climate as a communications topic rather than a risk to be assessed, owned and financed like any other.
The Risk Management for Climate Action, Adaptation & Carbon Accounting Training Course brings risk management discipline to climate work. It opens with climate science essentials and policy context, including the Paris Agreement and national commitments, then introduces risk assessment methods adapted to climate hazards: exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity and scenario analysis. Participants build risk registers, compare adaptation options and learn how to embed them in plans, budgets and project designs. The carbon accounting sessions teach organisational boundaries, data collection, emission factors and the compilation of an inventory across all three scopes, with quality assurance and recordkeeping. The final sessions turn to target setting, mitigation pathways, climate finance and credible reporting.
The course is practical and workshop based. Participants work with sample activity data and case organisations to produce a risk register, an adaptation shortlist and a draft inventory, leaving with tools they can adapt to their own institutions.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
