Overview

This short course provides an introduction to board directors on climate change and effective climate governance.

The course summarises the important role of the board in ensuring business risks and opportunities as a result of climate change are assessed, understood and addressed. It explains the relevance of these risks and opportunities and steps that you can take to ensure your organisation is taking appropriate action.
