Program Overview

As climate change is a material source of risk that could pose significant threats to the stability of our financial markets and economy, the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) identified that further information was needed by investors, lenders, and insurance underwriters to appropriately assess and price climate-related risks and opportunities.

TCFD’s recommendations for a more comprehensive and transparent reporting on climate-related financial risks and opportunities, offer guidance to supervised financial institutions as well as companies globally and, in Malaysia, who are expected to integrate the climate-related risks and considerations into their governance framework and risk management practices, thus ultimately enabling more stable, resilient markets and facilitate a smoother transition to a low-carbon economy.

This 0.5-day program will cover the fundamentals and global best practice examples as guidance and benchmarking, as well as disclosure guidance designed for Malaysian businesses and applicable jurisdiction-specific guidance.

At the end of the program, participants will be able understand:

• • Potential impacts of climate change on businesses, and the importance of climate-related financial disclosure.
