As the global economy undergoes a profound transformation in response to climate change, businesses stand at a pivotal crossroads. The course Business and Climate Change: Towards Net Zero, offered by Pideya Learning Academy, equips professionals with the strategic foresight and interdisciplinary understanding needed to address the climate imperative while unlocking new opportunities for sustainable growth. In today’s fast-evolving landscape, climate change is no longer a distant threat—it is a current and urgent business challenge.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the planet has already warmed by approximately 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels, and is on track to exceed the 1.5°C limit as early as the 2030s if emissions continue unabated. The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2024 identifies environmental concerns—such as extreme weather, biodiversity collapse, and the failure of climate mitigation—as the top five global threats. These risks are not only environmental but deeply economic, disrupting supply chains, straining resources, and challenging business continuity worldwide.
In response to these trends, the Business and Climate Change: Towards Net Zero program by Pideya Learning Academy provides a structured pathway for professionals and organizations to realign business models, operations, and leadership strategies with emerging climate priorities. The course explores the intersection of climate science, corporate responsibility, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting, regulatory compliance, and innovation, empowering participants to catalyze change from within.
Through this immersive experience, participants will investigate the drivers behind global warming, from greenhouse gas emissions to land-use changes, and translate this understanding into actionable frameworks. The training also delves into strategic pathways for transitioning to low-carbon models, fostering innovation, and building climate-resilient operations.
The training emphasizes systems thinking and strategic agility, helping professionals recognize the ripple effects of climate change across sectors. Attendees will be introduced to tools for measuring carbon footprints, scenario planning for climate disruptions, and techniques for embedding sustainability into financial, operational, and policy-making processes.
Among the core takeaways from the course are several key highlights that shape its value:
Comprehensive breakdown of climate science, emissions sources, and global carbon targets aligned with business transformation goals
