Carbon risk and strategy

Assessing, evaluating and managing carbon risk

New for 2012

Those who are, or expect to be, involved in assessing and evaluating the carbon risks for an organisation and identifying strategic options to manage those risks.

This course considers in depth the risks arising from climate change and the looming energy supply crisis, suggesting adaptation and mitigation strategies. It looks at the price of carbon allowances, historical trends and reasons for significant movements. Clean technologies are explained in depth. The steps required to develop a carbon strategy are explained, as are the different carbon strategies and the implications of each. These are all illustrated with case studies and exercises.

The speaker will be drawn from a pool of qualified professionals who specialise in this subject. Having worked for leading organisations they will relate the course content to real life case studies.
