The Science of Climate Change
Climate change is no longer a distant threat or just a possibility, it is now a reality for all of us. In this pathway, Kevin Trenberth, a renowned climatologist, delves into the science behind climate change. He first introduces the climate system, its main components and forces.
Tackling the Plastic Crisis
Plastic pollution is by far the biggest threat to our oceans and this remains an incredibly tough problem to solve. Plastic credits could potentially serve as one of the much needed solutions for this crisis.

The Scale of the Net Zero Challenge
The price of meeting net zero is estimated to be between $100-150 trillion over the next 30 years. Regardless of this cost, we need to reach net zero before climate change does irreversible damage to the environment and the economy.
ESG, Sustainability and Impact Jargon Buster
ESG, sustainability, impact… they all just mean green, right? Not quite. Despite being used often interchangeably, there are distinct differences between these terms.

Central Banks and Net Zero
Sarah Breeden
Executive Director: Bank of England
The climate crisis has become one of the biggest threats to global economy, requiring the intervention of central banks. In this video, Sarah Breeden helps us understand the role of the Bank of England in supporting the economy from climate related risks. She briefly explains what science around climate change shows and then explains the future risks we face and the impacts that this will have.

The Bank of England was charged with promoting the good of the people of the UK nearly 300 years ago. Whilst this mission is centred around monetary and fiscal stability, their approach to fulfilling it has developed in tandem with the economy. Over the last few years the bank has begun to assess the impact that climate change will have on this stability, and now takes a front-row seat in the fight against climate change.
Key learning objectives:
Understand the role of the Bank of England in supporting the economy
Comprehend the underlying climate change science and statistics
Understand the risks associated with climate change

What does the science around climate change show?
The latest IPCC reports states that human influence has unequivocally warmed the atmosphere. The planet has warmed by around 1°C since pre-industrial times.
Existing country commitments on climate change are not enough to reach the 1.5°C target agreed in the Paris Agreement. Momentum of these commitments is growing, but more needs to be done.
There are two key risks that we face in the fight against climate change, physical risks (flooding and heatwaves etc), that will cause losses in infrastructure and productivity, and transition risks (unable to use fossil fuel reserves), which may cause assets to lose value and become ‘stranded’.
What are the future risks we face and what impact will they have?
It is impossible to tell what combinations of physical and transitional risks we will see, but there will be risks.
Carbon released today remains in the atmosphere for years, so what we do now determines our future risks. To limit these risks, change needs to happen in the real economy. Consumers, corporations, governments and the financial system have a role to play in addressing these risks.
Swiss Re Institute estimates that if no further mitigating actions are taken against climate change, global GDP will be as much as 18% lower than it would have been by 2050.

Lessons from Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS)
This video helps recognise how climate change creates financial risks that matter for individual firms. Sarah further outlines what the Bank of England is doing to help banks and insurers manage financial risks from climate change and also discusses the work undertaken by the Bank of England and the NGFS in modelling climate risks.

The Scale of the Net Zero Challenge
The price of meeting net zero is estimated to be between $100-150 trillion over the next 30 years. Regardless of this cost, we need to reach net zero before climate change does irreversible damage to the environment and the economy. This video helps us understand the need to reach net zero, outlines the cost of reaching net zero and finally explains where the money will come from.

Mobilising the Finance Sector to Net Zero
To reach the $100-150tn required to meet net zero, significant commitments will need to be made over the coming years. New initiatives are starting up to encourage this investment such as GFANZ. This video outlines the commitments to reach net zero and further highlights how we can get the money where it is needed.
