“All the sessions were excellent for my level of involvement and knowledge in the area. There were areas like pricing which was somewhat above my knowledge and scope to fully appreciate but the general understanding was there and allowed better exposure to areas that i am not fully involved in at work.”

Before the first session begins, there will be an introduction to the Programme and what to expect in the week.
Following this, this first session of the week explores the latest developments and innovations in sustainable finance, focusing on the outcomes and implications of the COP28 climate summit in November 2023. It also examines the challenges and opportunities for financial institutions to align their strategies and operations with the global goals of climate action and the sustainability agenda.
Sustainability has been on the public agenda for many years and received a significant push with the adoption of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. This module sets the scene and introduces the world of sustainability by providing an overview of the different rationales why integrating sustainability considerations into business decisions and financial markets is becoming increasingly important. We will have a closer look at why a transformation towards a more sustainable world is important and discover the role of finance in the light of the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy. We will also dismantle the elements which contribute to sustainable finance, namely impact, risk, and opportunities.
Building upon the previous session, this one will explore the interplay between climate science and financial dynamics. The session will navigate learners through the tangible consequences of climate change by introducing the concepts and implications of physical and transition risks for financial institutions. Practical examples of how these risks materialise build the bridge to the next session.
Managing climate-related risks is critical for informed decision-making and the success of businesses. In this session, participants will gain essential insights and practical skills as we delve into cutting-edge frameworks and tools designed to assess, mitigate, and adapt to climate-related risks.
Communication and disclosure are becoming critical elements in sustainable finance, frequently pushed forward by regulators and voluntary initiatives. This session delves into the landscape of ESG reporting standards, providing participants with essential tools and frameworks for transparent and effective communication of sustainability practices. Attendees will gain insights into best practices, emerging trends, and the increasing importance of ESG disclosure in fostering trust among stakeholders, investors, and the broader community.
The session will focus on greenwashing and ESG litigation. We will explore greenwashing in the context of the capital markets (for instance, misrepresentation in green bonds) and wider, such as concerning public relations campaigns by NGOs against oil majors and governments. The discussion on ESG litigation will start with examples of climate litigation and then expand into the ‘S’ of social and human rights / corporate responsibility more generally. The approach is very much an international and interactive one. We will compare different approaches from NGOs and other stakeholders through ‘hard’ litigation in court and the growth of ‘soft’ litigation through complaints and public pressure. To provide further context, the presentation will also explore how the anti-ESG movement in the US is using strategic litigation and political pressure on its part, and stop the ‘woke’ movement.
