About the Micro-Certificate Program: Climate Risk & ESG for Corporate Governance and Decision-making

The Canada Climate Law Initiative has partnered with the Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia to bring you a flexible 8-week online educational program. The micro-certificate will provide directors, officers, in-house and external legal counsel, and governance professionals with the in-depth legal literacy and knowledge of best governance practices for managing climate-related financial risks and key regulatory requirements in corporate, securities, pension, and environmental law, with a particular focus on Canada.

Governments and regulators are increasingly demanding more climate disclosures and climate-related information. This has resulted in a surge in demand for professionals who have the skills and knowledge to advance climate and ESG initiatives within their organizations, and the capacity to make informed decisions towards a net-zero economy.

This course offers practical and hands-on training for professionals, including those currently working and those seeking to gain additional skills to better their employment opportunities. It provides a unique perspective that comes from collaboration and knowledge exchange between academics, policymakers, and business professionals.
