Aimed at mid-level risk management professionals in UNEP FI member organisations, the Centre offers a wide range of activities and resources to help members assess and find the opportunities in climate and nature risk through technical skill-building workshops, working groups that develop cutting-edge risk management tools and guidance, and sessions with leading external experts, regulators, modelers and data providers.
Access to most of these resources is included in the annual membership fee and available exclusively to UNEP FI members.
