CFA UK Level 4 Certificate in Climate and Investing
Recognising the growing importance of understanding climate change considerations into investment decision making
The CFA UK Certificate in Climate and Investing is a Level 4 qualification which delivers the knowledge and skills required by investment professionals to understand climate as it relates to investing and how to integrate climate change considerations into the investment process. The first qualification in the UK designed specifically by investment practitioners for investment practitioners.
We have developed a qualification for practitioners working in investment roles who need to understand and undertake climate analysis in their day-to-day roles, including those working in the following areas:
"The Certificate in Climate & Investing helped me to get a comprehensive snapshot of an ever evolving climate investing landscape. The tools, resources and methodologies outlined in the course have built my fundamental understanding on how climate is being integrated by the industry."
Aoife O'Donnell, 2022
The Certificate in ESG Investing offers a broad foundational framework to incorporate ESG factors into investment decision making. The Certificate in Climate and Investing, however, has a dedicated focus on climate-specific considerations. This includes recognising the socio-economic implications of climate change and the systemic risk that climate change presents to the stability of the financial system. As well as exploring the role capital markets are expected to play in allocating capital towards the transition to a low carbon economy, the CCI syllabus also covers policy, regulation and tools specific to measuring climate-related impacts on investments across a broad range of asset classes.
There are no formal entry criteria for this qualification, but it is strongly recommended that candidates have a solid grounding in the investment process achieved via formal qualification or experience.
