Climate Risk Governance and Board Oversight

Prepares directors and risk leaders to govern the physical and transition risks that climate change poses to African organisations. Delegates learn to integrate climate risk into enterprise risk management, oversee scenario analysis, and hold management accountable for mitigation and adaptation. The programme connects governance duties to emerging disclosure expectations without overlapping broader sustainability reporting.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain physical and transition climate risks relevant to the organisation.
  • Integrate climate risk into the enterprise risk management framework.
  • Oversee climate scenario analysis and its assumptions.
  • Hold management accountable for mitigation and adaptation plans.
  • Align board oversight with emerging climate disclosure expectations.
  • Structure board and committee responsibilities for climate risk.
