What professionals say about this Green Finance program
Natural capital management is the practice of recognizing, quantifying, and integrating environmental assets—like forests, water, biodiversity, and ecosystems—into financial and strategic decision-making.

It goes beyond reporting to teach you how to integrate natural capital into financial modeling, risk assessment, and investment strategies.

You’ll master the Natural Capital Protocol for systematic valuation and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) for risk reporting.
