About
Building capability in climate risk through expert-led training, applied risk assessment, and climate reporting
The Climate Risk Short Course is a professional development program focused on physical climate risk, multi-hazard assessment, infrastructure resilience, adaptation, and climate reporting, designed for professionals across government, consultancy, industry, finance, and academia.
The course is delivered by industry experts, with contributions from practitioners across climate science, infrastructure, finance, reporting, risk, and adaptation. It helps participants translate climate change into material risks for assets, services, supply chains, and organisations.
The course is relevant to the corporate sector as reporting moves from sustainability language to evidence-based disclosure. It is for leaders, asset owners, sustainability teams, risk managers, consultants, and finance professionals who connect physical risk to governance, strategy, materiality, and investment decisions.
The Climate Risk Short Course is offered in both in-person and online formats. In-person participation is encouraged for expert discussion, peer learning, applied exercises and risk-mapping activities.
Covers: climate risk foundations, physical climate risk, multi-hazard assessment, infrastructure exposure, vulnerability, adaptation pathways, materiality, climate reporting, scenario thinking and practical applications.

An excellent opportunity to network with like-minded professionals and learn from leading experts. I’ve taken back a wealth of knowledge to my council and made contacts that will support my work into the future.

An eye-opening and transformative experience. The Coastal Resilience Short Course reshaped how I approach coastal planning—moving beyond technical fixes to embrace systems thinking, meaningful community engagement, and long-term adaptation. I left the course with practical tools, renewed clarity, and a stronger sense of purpose in my role.
