The UN SSE, in partnership with IFC, CDP and stock exchanges globally, has trained over 15,000 participants from 142 countries on climate-related financial disclosures in alignment with the FSB’s task force on climate related financial disclosures (TCFD). The TCFD is built on four core pillars of disclosure (Governance, Strategy, Risk Management and Metrics & Targets) which are the foundation of upcoming disclosure standards developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) created by the IFRS. It is now more important than ever that market participants understand and become comfortable with the foundational work of the TCFD.
Developed in collaboration with the World Bank’s IFC and CDP, this training provides markets with pragmatic, live interactive training that helps participants at any level get started and build experience in climate-related disclosures. Given high demand for training on the four core pillars of the TCFD, we’re opening our TCFD training sessions to all market participants. In our live training sessions, experts are available to answer your questions on TCFD and reporting climate-related financial information to investors and other stakeholders. All participants that join our live sessions and complete a short online feedback survey afterwards will receive a CPD certification with credits towards your professional development.
We are running three different times for each training module to ensure that participants in any time zone can join. Please note that you should only register for one time zone option.
These sessions will be capped at 1000 participants and participants will only be admitted to the session on a first come first serve basis, so we recommend joining the sessions early to avoid disappointment. We recommend participating in both sessions (TCFD 101 and TCFD 102) to get the most out of this training program. Concepts that are introduced in TCFD 101 may not be re-explained in TCFD 102.
Training and registration details
MARCH 2: TCFD 101 – Introduction to climate-related financial disclosures
On March 2, we are holding three time options to join our TCFD 101 training module. TCFD 101 provides an overview of what climate-related reporting is and why it is important. It will also provide participants with the global context and the initial steps to address the TCFD recommendations. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
✅Explain the financial risks & opportunities associated with climate change, and the importance of climate-related financial disclosure;
✅Understand the key elements of climate-related financial disclosure and outline the characteristics of good practice;
✅Identify the initial steps organisations need to take to implement the recommendations of the TCFD.
