Climate Risk Assessment and Adaptation Planning

Droughts, flooding and heat stress are already disrupting operations, infrastructure and supply chains across Southern Africa. This course equips delegates to assess physical and transition climate risks facing their organisation, apply recognised scenario analysis approaches, and translate findings into practical adaptation measures for facilities, logistics and workforce planning, in line with growing investor and regulatory expectations for climate resilient operations.

What you will be able to do

  • Distinguish between physical and transition climate risks relevant to African operating environments.
  • Apply scenario analysis techniques to assess exposure under different climate pathways.
  • Assess climate related vulnerabilities in facilities, logistics networks and workforce arrangements.
  • Translate climate risk findings into practical adaptation and contingency measures.
  • Align climate risk disclosures with investor and regulatory reporting expectations.
  • Develop an adaptation plan that prioritises interventions by cost and exposure.
