We’re empowering a new generation of leaders with the knowledge and perspective to understand, question, and harness generative AI in the fight against climate change — turning awareness into action.” added Amit Agrawal, Programme Instructor and Senior Advisor.

The Future of Financial Services with Generative AI and Climate
Climate change is reshaping the financial landscape. Generative AI offers a transformative path to modelling environmental risk, forecasting ESG scenarios, and optimising sustainability strategies.
