Climate Risk
Foundations.

Designed for professionals working across government, consulting, infrastructure, industry, NGOs and the private sector, this foundational program blends expert-led sessions with practical learning to build essential knowledge in climate risk, multi-hazard risk, governance, compliance and adaptation planning.

The program introduces foundational concepts in climate risk, climate-related hazards, multi-hazard assessment, exposure and vulnerability, risk governance, disclosure and compliance expectations, adaptation pathways, decision-making under uncertainty, and the practical use of AI to support climate risk analysis, scenario interpretation, workflow improvement and adaptation planning. Led by experts from research, government and industry, the course fosters peer learning and networking across sectors.

The course will be delivered through interactive classroom-based presentations, group discussions and applied case study work, providing participants with the concepts, tools and frameworks needed to understand climate risk, assess multi-hazard challenges, meet emerging expectations, and support better planning, governance and adaptation decisions. In-person attendees will also benefit from a catered program, including morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.

Whether you are beginning your journey in climate risk or seeking to consolidate your knowledge, Level I provides a critical foundation for understanding the evolving risks, obligations and decision-making tools that underpin resilient organisations, communities and places in a changing climate.
