About this programme
Climate change is no longer a distant environmental issue - it is a material financial risk with direct implications for pension fund performance, asset valuation, and long-term member outcomes. Pension funds, as long-horizon investors, are increasingly expected to identify, assess, and manage climate-related financial risks while integrating sustainability and ESG principles into investment decision-making.
This training equips trustees, investment professionals, and pension administrators with practical tools to understand climate risk, comply with emerging regulatory expectations, and build resilient, sustainable pension portfolios that balance fiduciary duty with long-term value creation.
