Climate Risk and Sustainable Finance

Climate risks are rapidly reshaping the global economic and financial landscape, compelling businesses, financial institutions, and regulators to rethink traditional models of value, performance, and resilience. As India advances its sustainability commitments and integrates global best practices—ranging from TCFD-aligned disclosures to evolving ESG regulations—the ability to understand and manage climate risks has become a strategic imperative rather than an optional capability. Transition risks, physical climate shocks, and the widening expectations of investors and customers are now directly influencing capital allocation decisions, credit assessments, and long- term competitiveness.

At the same time, sustainable finance has emerged as a powerful lever to steer capital towards low- carbon growth, climate-resilient infrastructure, and socially responsible business practices. The rapid rise of green bonds, SRI and ESG investing, blended finance, and outcome-based investing indicates a fundamental shift in how financial value is created and assessed. This three-day Management Development Program on Climate Risk and Sustainable Finance is designed to equip managers, policymakers, and finance professionals with the frameworks, analytical tools, and practical insights required to navigate this changing environment. By bridging scientific, regulatory, and financial perspectives, the program aims to build capacity for informed decision-making, risk management, and strategic innovation in a climate-constrained world.

This program aims to build participants’ capabilities in identifying material ESG factors, interpreting global reporting and risk assessment frameworks (TCFD, TNFD, ISSB), and understanding the evolving landscape of sustainable finance (SRI, ESG, and Impact Investing). It will develop analytical skills in ESG risks and ratings, impact-oriented investment approaches, blended finance structures, and impact measurement and management to enable informed, sustainability-aligned financial decision-making.

The course will be taught in participatory learning mode with the help of cases,class exercises, group projects and presentations

This programme is ideal for managers and professionals in banking, financial services, sustainability, risk management, corporate strategy, and ESG functions. It is also suited for policymakers, development sector practitioners, consultants, and leaders responsible for climate strategy or sustainable finance initiatives. Participants seeking to strengthen their capabilities in ESG risks, reporting frameworks, and impact-aligned capital allocation will benefit most.
