Opleiding: Building Climate Change Resilience // Strategisches Nachhaltigkeits- und Krisenmanagement für Unternehmen

Strategies for business adaptation and risk management in an evolving climate

As climate change accelerates, its physical impacts—such as heatwaves, floods, and storms—are increasingly disrupting businesses worldwide. This program addresses how organizations can adapt to these risks and build resilience. With contributions from leading experts, including leading climate researchers, the program provides valuable insights into practical strategies for businesses to prepare for and respond to climate-related challenges. 

Despite widespread awareness of these risks, many businesses still struggle to quantify their potential impact on operations and supply chains. Adaptation is about proactively safeguarding operations, employees, and assets to ensure business continuity. This program empowers professionals to create actionable climate resilience plans, improving efficiency, reducing vulnerabilities, and enhancing their overall competitive position in an evolving climate.

The course runs for 5 weeks, with a manageable time commitment of around 4 hours per week. The learning experience is primarily built around live, cohort-based sessions delivered in high-impact formats - designed to fit into even the busiest schedules. These are complemented by light self-paced individual work, allowing you to engage with the material at your own rhythm and reinforce the learnings from the live sessions.
