This intensive one-day course provides essential insights to help you build organisational resilience, navigate shifting expectations, and stay ahead of new mandatory climate-related disclosures.
Course overview
Climate change is reshaping every sector. Understanding climate risk is becoming a core leadership capability, not a specialist skill.
This one-day intensive course teaches participants how to assess climate risks and opportunities, evaluate their business impact and incorporate them into strategy. Open to professionals across industries, the course equips participants with the climate insight needed to make smarter, more confident organisational decisions and accelerate their careers.
Net zero is no longer a distant ambition; it is shaping the direction of the global economy. Without clear action, organisations face growing risks, including missed opportunities and rising costs, as expectations and regulatory requirements continue to evolve. The course drives practical outcomes such as stronger reporting, effective transition planning, and long‑term resilience.
This course will equip you to see where your organisation is vulnerable, where it can lead, and how to turn that insight into strategic advantage.
Delivered jointly by Climateworks Centre, Australia’s climate transition specialists, and Monash University's Sustainable Development Education team, experts in impactful capacity building
