About the Course

In this course, you will focus on understanding climate change and the risks and opportunities that it creates for businesses in the 21st century. You will analyze the current impacts of climate change on a global scale, and the investment shifts that are required to achieve a net-zero economy. Next, you will analyze the role of climate disclosures and their importance in ESG. You will also review private environmental governance, the active role that private companies are playing in combating climate change, and the parallels between the public and private sectors. Additionally, you will assess the insurance industry and the ways that it spreads risk, as well as creative ways that insurance as a form of private or public governance can build climate resilience. In the final module, you will review the concept of greenwashing: what is driving firms to make exaggerated environmental claims, why it is harmful, and examples of enforcement actions. Finally, you will learn about the importance of product stewardship. By the end of this course, you will have a thorough understanding of public and private environmental governance, the financial risks that unmitigated climate change is creating, climate disclosures, and innovative ways that business leaders can view and implement climate solutions....

A great course! Well prepared, with a high-level professor. A pragmatic explanation with cutting-edge subjects that allows us to understand the complexity and challenges of the ESG agenda, in addition to fostering the strategic thinking that we must have about our performance as executives. It stimulates an overview of the roles and responsibilities of government and the private sector in the challenges of climate change management. A little bit focused on US legislation, but it was very efficient in the context. I truly recommend it.

This is a good course which gave better understanding and structured my knowledge of connection of the ESG rhetoric in business and media and the climate change issues.

Obviously, it is USA focused but provides a decent overview of other countries' issues and practices.
