Aim of Course
The purpose of this course is to provide members who complete the course with an understanding of:
- The main concepts of climate risk and sustainability that are relevant to actuaries
- How those concepts are relevant and what impact they might have on actuaries’ work; and
- How to apply these concepts in their work
It is not intended that the successful completion of the course would make an actuary a climate risk or sustainability expert.
The course should be seen as an enabler to stimulate interest and a potential platform for further study.
