Certificate in Climate Risk (CICR)

INTRODUCTION TO CERTIFICATE IN CLIMATE RISK

The Certificate in Climate Risk (CICR) is developed by the Chartered Body Alliance, comprising the Chartered Banker Institute (CBI), UK; the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), and the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI). It encompasses a wide range of developments in climate change and its impacts, the rapidly evolving policy and regulatory landscape relating to climate risks, and the substantial progress in finance sector practice in addressing climate and broader sustainability risks. The CICR programme aims to develop the learner’s professional knowledge, understanding and skills relating to climate change, climate risk and sustainable finance, with a view to supporting customers, clients, colleagues, and communities with the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon world.

With broad financial services sector coverage, the CICR programme is ideal for all financial services professionals, including bankers, insurers, investment managers, central bankers and regulators, risk managers, analysts and consultants, who have an understanding of risk management principles and wish to develop and demonstrate their knowledge and expertise of climate risk.
