Learning unit contents

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The goal of this course is to teach students the regulatory and methodological aspects associated to climate-related financial risks in asset management at large. It should provide students with the needed competences to answer (among others) to the following questions

  • What makes climate-related financial risks unique? What are its drivers? How are physical and transition risks distinguished?
  • How do we measure physical and transition risks, and how do we incorporate such risks in traditional credit and market risks assessments?
  • How to conduct scenario analyses, stress-testing and sensitivity analyses for climate-related risks and exposures?
  • What are the regulatory obligations/good practices of financial institutions regarding climate-related risks?
More generally, the course content should be in line with standards in the field set by international institutions such as the Bank of International Settlement (see, e.g., the BIS 04/2021 WP), and professional risk associations such as the GARP.
