Program Overview: What is Sustainable Finance, Climate Risk and Green Bonds (formerly: Sustainable Finance and Green Bonds)?
Sustainable Finance, Climate Risk & Green Bonds (formerly: Sustainable Finance & Green Bonds) is Edstellar's instructor-led program for finance teams navigating climate risk and sustainable debt. Participants cover climate risk foundations, green bonds and sustainable debt instruments, climate scenario analysis, sustainable investment screening, and disclosure standards. The program treats climate as a financial risk first and a reporting duty second.
Across 24 hours and six modules, expert briefings are paired with guided labs built on realistic financial data. Your team runs a scenario analysis, structures a green bond framework, and screens a portfolio for climate exposure with instructor coaching and feedback throughout. Instructors review each exercise against current market practice, so techniques transfer straight to deal work. The program closes with a capstone: a green bond framework and climate risk plan the team presents for critique.
Banks and asset managers now price climate risk into credit and face disclosure regimes with real penalties, yet most teams still treat it as a compliance checkbox. Shallow fluency shows up in weak frameworks and mispriced exposure. This program teaches your people to assess climate risk quantitatively and to build debt instruments the market trusts.
Your team finishes with a green bond framework and climate risk plan they built in the capstone: use-of-proceeds logic, risk assessment, screening criteria, and disclosure alignment, reviewed as a live deal would be. It is a working document, not coursework, and it will be useful the next time an investor asks hard questions.
Across six modules, your teams practice with realistic data: running scenario analysis, reviewing bond frameworks, screening deal pipelines, and drafting disclosures. The capstone produces a draft green bond framework with an integrated climate risk plan.

Connect Sustainable Finance Frameworks With Clear Climate-Risk Reasoning
Edstellar develops climate-finance capability through risk, debt-framework, and disclosure cases. Participants examine scenario assumptions, screening approaches, and governance using sample portfolios and instruments. A green-bond framework and climate-risk plan are reviewed for transparent rationale, coherent controls, and evidence that supports the proposed reporting and risk treatment.
- Step 01
Consult
We discuss portfolio, risk, and reporting responsibilities to identify gaps in climate-risk concepts, sustainable debt, scenario analysis, screening, or disclosure controls.
- Step 02
Plan
Climate-finance foundations lead into green bonds, risk scenarios, investment screening, and reporting before a combined debt-framework and climate-risk plan review.
- Step 03
Align
Sustainable-finance and risk expertise supports finance professionals with varied climate experience, relating new concepts to their existing analysis, governance, and reporting duties.
- Step 04
Customize
Fictional portfolios and sample bond frameworks provide realistic risk and disclosure cases without advising on actual investments or initiating financial transactions.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants compare bond-framework criteria, examine climate scenarios, and draft disclosure checklists, receiving feedback on evidence, governance, assumptions, and the treatment of identified risks.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the framework and plan for coherent objectives, supported climate-risk analysis, clear reporting responsibilities, and transparent assumptions and limitations in the proposed approach.
