Sustainability and Climate Risk Certification Training Program (Synchronous e-learning)

Climate risk and Sustainability are fast gaining importance in today’s financial world because of the global agenda on climate change and efforts to reduce Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions internationally. These follows the Paris agreement on climate change in 2015 and the alliances formed at COP26 @Glasgow more recently. Indeed, climate risk is an emerging ‘new’ risk class in financial institutions because of indirect dire impact from transition risk and physical risks. Importantly regulators (such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)) are drafting the standards and reporting requirements for this new emerging risk class to be measured, controlled, and disclosed. In terms of global banking regulations, climate risk is fast making its way into industry-wide stress tests, accounting standards, and potentially Basel capital. The Risk Management Institute (RMI)’s Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) exam preparation course is designed to align with Global Association of Risk Professionals' (GARP) SCR certification objectives and examination structure. There are following 8 chapters in the latest (2023) SCR certificate covering aspects of sustainability and climate risk management. This RMI training program is composed of 7 sessions of 3 hours each. There will be a quiz at the end of the course which mirrors the format, coverage and standards of the actual SCR exam syllabus.
