Course overview
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.
