Climate Risk Management and Sustainable Banking (ESG) Masterclass
Climate risk is now a supervisory expectation, not a CSR talking point — embed it in stress testing, ICAAP, ILAAP and the risk appetite statement.

Supervisors have stopped asking banks whether they take climate risk seriously and started asking to see it in the numbers. The PRA’s PS11/19 requires banks to address climate risk management and its impact on business models, and there is mounting pressure to demonstrate that ESG and climate factors run through the stress-testing process — not alongside it. This masterclass equips banking professionals to do exactly that. The cohort works through the science that underpins climate and global warming, identifying climate risk as a concept in bank risk management, embedding it in ICAAP and ILAAP from a capital perspective, devising risk appetite metrics, assessing balance-sheet impact, and drafting green banking products the market is asking for.

Frequently asked
Will these programmes prepare our team for supervisory review?
That is what they are built for. Casework is structured around the evidence supervisors request — risk-appetite articulation, documentation, attestation — and participants leave able to assemble the evidence trail before it is asked for and defend the framework in examination. Faculty include practitioners who have sat on the supervisor’s side of the table.
Which risk frameworks does the curriculum cover?
The risk and compliance curriculum spans enterprise risk management on the COSO framework, credit, market, liquidity and operational risk, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing, and financial-crime disciplines including fraud detection and AML/CFT. Each programme page states the frames it works in and what participants will build with them.
Can we attend in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers in English and French, in classroom, live virtual and hybrid formats. French-language cohorts serve institutions across BCEAO jurisdictions and other francophone markets.
What happens after we enquire about a programme?
A senior practitioner replies within one business day with the brochure attached. The conversation then covers dates, format, any tailoring your institution needs, and the fee — BIZENIUS shares fees in that proposal, not on a public price list.
