About this course
This course covers existing and upcoming climate reporting regulations, which are now required by law in large global markets such as California and the EU. We’ll dive into the details of landmark frameworks for climate-related financial risk reporting, such as TCFD, and mandatory disclosure regulations, such as EU CSRD, California SB 253, and SB 261. You’ll learn how to determine regulatory climate reporting requirements for your company and practice building scaffolding for sustainability reports.
You will walk away from the course with an understanding of how climate reporting is becoming more integrated with financial reporting and why sustainability and finance professionals within organizations will increasingly be working together.
