Overview
Measuring and managing climate-related financial risks is critical for institutions across the financial system. Our three-day Climate-related Financial Risk Programme at the University of Oxford is designed to equip individuals from financial institutions and regulators, government officials, and corporate strategists with the latest understanding of climate risks.
The G20 Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), central banks and financial regulators have all highlighted the need for comprehensive, high-quality information on the impacts of climate change. The physical impacts are stranding assets across specific sectors of the global economy, with real implications that need to be appropriately and professionally managed.
In addition to the latest knowledge on climate-related financial risks, the Climate-related Financial Risk Programme provides participants with the expertise, networks, and confidence to design and implement practices for measuring and managing these risks.
Designed and developed by the Oxford Sustainable Finance Group, the programme is aimed at individuals such as:
- Risk officers in financial institutions
- Analysts and portfolio managers
- Corporate risk managers and strategists
- Financial regulators supervising or considering how to supervise firms in relation to climate-related risk
- Government officials integrating climate-related risk into government decision-making and policy
- NGOs working on climate-related financial risks.
The programme focuses on the latest evidence, the toolkit elements required to measure climate-related risks, and how these can be implemented in practice. Through the programme participants will be provided with an understanding of:
- Climate-related physical risk
- Climate-related transition risk
- Climate-related legal risk
- The use of data for analysing risk
- Scenarios for climate and energy transitions
- The latest theories on measuring climate-related risk
- The roles and expectations of regulators
- Means to navigate climate-related financial risk
Our programmes equip attendees with an understanding of the core principles and concepts in sustainable finance, as well as an in-depth knowledge of the latest developments. They are ideal preparation for professional examinations in sustainable finance and related areas.
Alumni will receive invitations to our events and conferences as part of our growing community. Alumni are eligible for a 15% discount on all other Oxford Sustainable Finance Group open enrolment executive programmes.
Through the programme participants will form a network of senior practitioners working at the intersection of finance and sustainability. Previous participants have attended from organisations including:
- Barclays Bank
- Environment Agency
- Bank of England
- Linklaters LLP
- Kresge Foundation
- CBRE Global Investors
- KPMG
- Legal & General
The programme is designed by the Oxford Sustainable Finance Group, and the content is underpinned by its research, faculty and networks. The Oxford Sustainable Finance Group is a multidisciplinary research centre working to be the world's best place for research and teaching on sustainable finance and investment. It was established in 2012 to align the theory and practice of finance and investment with global environmental sustainability.
The programme blends academic expertise with professional insight with contributions from leading Oxford faculty and leading practitioners from across the public and private sectors.
