About the Course

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....

Good basics- the reading material needs to be updated. In some cases the material does not longer exists or it is quite old.

A great course for beginners. A few videos from actual players in the field would have been more useful.

I enjoyed the study of this specialization but this course was a complete disappointment. The only thing that the professor did was to read the script, no example, no elaboration, not even a side joke. In the meantime, the content of this course is very important but unfortunately, I am not sure how much I absorbed after listening to his boring "lectures" that could have rather be replaced by an AI voice recording (hopefully not!). I think the professor and the school should be more respectful to the students who are paying to learn the knowledge. At the end, by looking at my class note, I think I was almost merely transcribing the wikipedia pages.
