ESG is a broad umbrella. This course goes deep into nature as a value and risk driver—natural capital, ecosystem services, and biodiversity—and how these translate into financial outcomes.

You’ll focus on valuation, regulation, instruments, risk/ERM integration, and disclosure—so reporting is built on strong underlying analysis.

You’ll learn advanced valuation approaches including market-based methods, revealed preference (travel cost, hedonic pricing), stated preference (CVM, choice experiments), advanced CBA, ESV modelling, and benefits transfer.

You will also learn limitations, ethics, and how to justify method selection for credible decision use.

Yes. You’ll cover international agreements (CBD, CITES, Paris Agreement, Kunming–Montreal GBF), regional regulation (EU Taxonomy, SFDR, CSRD), and how policy instruments and enforcement shape disclosure and due diligence expectations.

There’s also an applied assignment to compare policy architecture across jurisdictions.

Yes. The program covers dependencies and impacts assessment, scenario analysis, integration with ERM, materiality, and resilience strategies—so you can translate nature into credit, portfolio, and risk governance discussions.

Certification is awarded after completing module assessments and the capstone evaluation. The focus is application—method selection, interpretation, and defensible recommendations—rather than memorisation.

Yes, it’s self-paced so you can learn on your schedule. You’ll retain access to the materials for an extended period after enrollment, so you can revisit frameworks, templates, and modules when needed.

You’ll build expert-level capability that employers increasingly expect: valuation justification, regulatory fluency, nature finance structuring, ERM integration, and executive-ready strategy outputs.

These skills map strongly to roles in ESG investing, sustainability advisory, risk, compliance, and corporate transformation.
