The urgent transition towards a low-carbon economy will profoundly change our economy. Households, companies and financial intermediaries have to be ready in order to avoid the downside risks and seize the opportunities created by climate change. The Finance of Climate Change MOOC will explain (i) how climate change and the policies aimed to mitigate it will impact the different businesses and (ii) the means and tools at the disposal of companies, banks and investors to be part of this transition. What is the shadow price of carbon? What makes a bond green? How can investors steer the decarbonization of a company? How can we make sure that a company is making real efforts to make its business model climate-resilient and not just greenwashing? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this MOOC. This MOOC covers the financial risks and opportunities of climate change and how companies can finance their green transition, for example by issuing green securities. You will also learn how financial intermediaries address climate change risks and why central banks are concerned about climate change. This MOOC is for those who wish to understand the finance of climate. It is not necessary to have specialized prior knowledge, apart from basic familiarity with accounting and financial concepts such as discounted cash flows. We do suggest, however, taking the first and second MOOC of this specialization before starting this one in order to gain a simple but solid understanding of the science and economics aspects of climatic changes.

The course is very superficial. I understand that there is a lot to talk about, but after a theretical concept a case study analysis is a must. With real scenarios cases, we can understand how we can apply the learned concepts. Unfortunately here is not happening.
A good overview of the most important aspects of climate finance, but without any depth and without framing the individual lessons under any overarching narrative. This makes it harder to place each element in the landscape. Most of the readings are only marginally related to the lectures. Another way of saying it is that the lectures provide no guidance as to which readings can help you with which topic.
Great and Excelent Course! I have reviewed many new concepts for me like Blendend Finance and Project Finance. I believe this course allow to you make to have a climate change perspective from the economics and financial system leveraging in the creative finance structure and global world organizations.
