Learning Outcomes

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

• Identify and assess physical and transition climate risks and their financial implications for the organisation

• Apply standardised climate risk measurement methodologies to quantify sustainability risk exposures across portfolios and operations

• Construct and interpret climate scenarios using recognised frameworks such as NGFS to translate climate pathways into organisational risk impacts

• Develop frameworks and strategies for managing sustainability risks to minimise and mitigate their impact on the organisation

• Evaluate net-zero transition strategies and integrate sustainability risk considerations into organisational risk management processes

Business Outcomes 

• Strengthened Climate Risk Function: Risk teams apply internationally benchmarked SCR methodologies to identify, quantify, and report climate-related financial exposures with greater consistency and rigour

• Regulatory Credibility: Organisations demonstrate auditable, certification-backed climate risk competency to MAS supervisors, board risk committees, and institutional investors

• Improved Scenario Analysis Integration: Climate scenarios are systematically incorporated into stress testing, capital planning, and strategic risk assessments rather than treated as a standalone disclosure exercise

• Accelerated Net-Zero Transition Readiness: Risk and strategy teams contribute substantively to transition plan development, with the technical language and framework fluency to engage credibly with global counterparties

• Reduced Dependency on External Advisors: Internal capability to assess and manage sustainability risks reduces reliance on third-party consultants for climate risk identification and measurement tasks

Day 1 — Foundations, Policy & Sustainable Finance

Purpose: Build the conceptual and policy foundation across Chapters 1–5, covering the climate science, sustainability governance, and green finance knowledge domains that underpin all risk measurement work on Day 2.

1. Foundations of Climate Change

• Causes and mechanisms of climate change

• Greenhouse gas emissions and global temperature pathways

• Physical impacts on economies, industries, and financial systems

2. Sustainability

• Defining sustainability in the corporate and financial context

• ESG integration and sustainability frameworks

• Corporate sustainability obligations and stakeholder expectations

3. Climate Change Risk

• Physical risks: acute and chronic

• Transition risks: policy, technology, market, and reputational

• Liability risks and transmission channels to financial risk

4. Sustainability and Climate Policy, Culture, and Governance 

• Paris Agreement, UNFCCC, and international policy architecture

• National climate policies and regulatory developments

• Corporate governance structures for climate risk oversight

• Culture and accountability in sustainability management

5. Green and Sustainable Finance: Markets and Instruments

• Green bonds, sustainability-linked bonds, social bonds

• ESG investing and responsible investment principles — PRI, TCFD

• Sustainable finance market developments and taxonomy frameworks

Participants gain a comprehensive understanding of climate science, risk typology, policy landscape, and sustainable finance instruments — covering the five foundational chapters of the SCR syllabus.

Day 2 — Risk Measurement, Scenario Analysis & Exam Preparation

Purpose: Build technical proficiency across Chapters 6–10 in climate risk quantification, scenario analysis, and transition planning, followed by structured exam preparation.

6. Climate Risk Measurement and Management

• Identifying and quantifying physical and transition risk exposures

• Integrating climate risks into enterprise risk management frameworks

• Credit, market, and operational risk implications of climate change

• COSO ERM framework and climate risk integration

7. Climate Models and Scenario Analysis

• Climate modelling approaches and their limitations

• NGFS scenario families: orderly, disorderly, hot house world

• RCP and SSP pathways — translating into financial risk impacts

• Applying scenario analysis to stress testing and capital planning

8. Net Zero

• Net-zero commitments and pathways

• Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and corporate net-zero frameworks

• Implications of net-zero transition for risk and investment decisions

9. Climate and Nature Risk Assessment

• Nature-related risks: biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation

• TNFD framework and nature risk disclosure

• Interconnections between climate risk and nature risk

10. Transition Planning and Carbon Reporting

• Corporate transition plan development and credibility assessment

• Carbon accounting and reporting frameworks

• Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions measurement and management

11. Exam Preparation: Mock Questions and Study Strategy

• Mock question practice 

• Examiner insight: case study approach, common pitfalls

Participants leave with technical proficiency in climate risk measurement, scenario analysis, and transition planning, and a clear examination strategy to maximise performance on the SCR exam.
