Description
Businesses have a duty to report on the material risks they face. This enables stakeholders to make informed decisions about capital allocation.
Climate change is one of the most significant risks facing organisations today and if businesses fail to assess, report and act on climate change impacts, they risk material misstatement in their financial and non-financial reports. Equally, climate change’s impact on financial markets and businesses will bring opportunities, such as new industries, solutions and business models.
In this micro course, you’ll explore the issue of climate change, and the risks and opportunities it presents for businesses. You will then look at how businesses can begin to understand the specific risks and opportunities affecting their own operations and profits, and how they can create transparency for stakeholders.
