SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE RISK

Welcome to the Orientation

Today's agenda is to give you an overview of the course, what we will cover, and the duration of the

course. We will also discuss why climate risk has become important in the banking landscape. Towards

the end, we will answer any questions or feedback you may have.

Course Focus

The main focus of this course is to prepare you for the SCR certificate exam conducted by GARP. The

exam consists of roughly 200 pages and eight chapters. We aim to cover the core syllabus in the next

two to two and a half months, leaving you with one and a half months for revision. The exam is nonmathematical, but requires a lot of memorization. We will provide mind maps, flashcards, and

infographics to help with efficient recollection.

There are two main reasons why you should do this exam. Firstly, climate risk has become extremely

important in the banking industry, and there is a high demand for climate risk professionals. Secondly,

the price of the certification will increase as the syllabus expands, so now is a good time to do it.

Regulatory Landscape

Alongside the exam preparation, we will cover the regulatory landscape. Basel and IFRS have released

papers on climate risk, and banks are required to comply with climate risk-related disclosures.

Understanding the regulatory landscape is important for job prospects in this field and will help you

connect the dots between the core material and the regulations.

Modeling Climate Risks

Independent agencies have used climate models for weather forecasting, but banks are now starting to

incorporate climate risks into their traditional risk measures. We will discuss how climate risks affect

credit risk, market risk, and operational risk. This includes incorporating additional risk factors into

probability of default calculations and conducting climate-related stress tests and scenario analysis
