Corporate Climate Change Management

Description

Climate change will affect the operational environment of an organisation – from changes in weather patterns to changes in legislation, customer requirements and costs. To manage this diverse array of impacts corporates, need to understand the risks that climate change poses and how these risks can be reduced and opportunities maximised through mitigation and adaptation. The module will teach managers how to identify these risks and how to develop, implement and manage a corporate climate change strategy and how to measure and report on progress using international recognised protocols. The module will use real-life information from corporate reports and look at how these can be critically evaluated.
