Overview
This Climate Stress Testing and Climate Scenarios course offered by The University of Edinburgh examines how environmental disruptions and decarbonisation trends can affect financial systems, lending portfolios, and institutional stability. Participants explore the use of scenario-based approaches to evaluate the potential effects of climate-related risks on credit exposures, financial performance, and systemic resilience. The programme provides a detailed understanding of how climate considerations are incorporated into financial risk management and strategic decision-making.
Key Facts
The course covers transition risks arising from policy, regulatory, and economic shifts associated with decarbonisation, alongside physical risks linked to environmental hazards and extreme weather events. Participants investigate available climate-risk datasets, compare analytical approaches, and apply methodologies used to assess vulnerabilities at the loan and portfolio level. Through practical exploration of stress-testing frameworks, the programme equips professionals with the knowledge required to integrate climate considerations into risk modelling and meet evolving market and regulatory expectations.
