Overview

This one-day foundation course equips finance, fintech, and policy professionals with practical AI prompting skills to support sustainable finance activities. You’ll learn how to extract insights for ESG risk assessments, structure green finance instruments, and enhance sustainability reporting — all while using AI ethically and effectively.
The course emphasises AI as a support tool, not a decision-maker, and includes real-life examples and hands-on prompt practices.

You’ll also explore what’s next in AI for sustainable finance — including AI agents and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) — tools that improve ESG data reliability and help prevent greenwashing.
