The global economy has grown rapidly in the last 200 years but this achievement has come at the cost of climate change and environmental damage.
With increased environmental awareness among nations and people, a global strive towards sustainable development is now growing. You may ask yourself what does this have to do with finance? Making the necessary change, transformation of our economies and societies require commitments, innovations and, last but not least, finance and investments.

Sustainable Finance can help steer the global economy towards sustainability and accelerate the necessary change. The financial sector has an important role in deciding where capital flows and by implication where it does not flow to. In this programme, you will learn about creating impact, managing sustainability risks, and benefiting from sustainable business opportunities. It will familiarise participants with the business, regulatory and technical perspectives of sustainable finance and will acquaint them to take an active part in the discussion around the topic. The programme aims to enable financial professionals to integrate Sustainable Finance related aspects into their work through new knowledge and tools for advising their clients and business partners.

The programme provides a comprehensive introduction to the world of sustainability, no prior knowledge of Sustainable Finance or Finance is required.
