Mini Masterclass (Live Session) Evolving Climate Scenarios

Description

Climate scenarios have become an essential tool for organisations seeking to understand and prepare for the long-term impacts of climate change. As the science evolves, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) continues to refine the scenarios used by governments, regulators, investors, and businesses to assess climate-related risks and opportunities. Understanding these updates is critical for organisations undertaking climate risk assessments, scenario analysis, and strategic planning.

In this 90-minute live online Mini Masterclass, participants will gain a practical understanding of the latest developments in IPCC climate scenarios and what they mean for organisational decision making. The session explains the evolution of climate pathways, the assumptions behind different scenarios, and how organisations can select and apply appropriate scenarios to support risk management, sustainability strategy, and climate resilience.

Designed to be practical and interactive, the session bridges climate science and business application, helping participants confidently interpret climate scenarios without requiring a scientific background.
