Climate Transition Strategy
Cut through the noise. Build climate strategies that actually work. Evaluate Net Zero pathways with scientific and strategic rigour. Master physical and transition risk assessments.
Net Zero has become a buzzword—but also a battlefield. This module strips it back to the fundamentals: the physics, the pathways, and the principles. You'll understand the limits of offsetting, the flaws in common targets, and how to lead a climate strategy that holds up to scrutiny.
This module separates signal from noise—and equips you to lead with integrity.

Why It Matters
The era of soft climate commitments is over. Investors, regulators, and civil society are demanding credible, science-aligned transition plans. Firms that continue to rely on creative accounting and distant timelines face reputational, financial, and legal risks.
This course redefines climate strategy as a business and economic design problem—not a reporting challenge. You'll gain the tools to measure real-world impact, avoid false solutions, and integrate carbon into strategic decisions—not just disclosures.
What You'll Learn
This course provides a rigorous foundation in climate science and strategy, cutting through greenwashing to focus on what actually works.
Core Concepts
- The science of carbon budgets and atmospheric stability
- How carbon accounting actually works
- What 'net zero' should mean—and why most claims fall short
- The pros and cons of different standards available on the market
- Scope 1–3 vs value-chain impact, and why Scope 4 matters
Advanced Frameworks
- How to move beyond net-zero theatre to real-world decarbonisation
- The limits of offsetting and carbon removal technologies
- Integrating carbon into capital allocation decisions
- Communicating climate strategy with credibility
- Navigating trade-offs between short-term pressures and long-term survival
Who It's For
Anyone tasked with climate strategy, reporting, capital allocation, or public accountability:
- Sustainability managers building transition plans
- Board members overseeing climate risk
- Investors assessing company commitments
- Policy makers designing regulatory frameworks
- Communicators explaining complex climate strategies
Outcomes
Scientific Foundation
A refined understanding of climate change, carbon budgets, and carbon integrity
Strategic Focus
The ability to focus business on what works and avoid the Net Zero halo pitfalls
Practical Tools
Frameworks to assess decarbonisation pathways and technology options
Credible Communication
Skills to navigate trade-offs, public scrutiny, and real-world impact
The question isn't if we will get to Net zero. The question is when and how.
Applied Learning
Each module includes real-world case applications. For this program, we examine the case of Finland and two of multinational corporations which have rebuilt their climate strategy after criticism of their net-zero plan—shifting from offsets to radical value-chain transformation.
