CEFGroup STRAND Marsden Postdoctoral Fellow Quyen Nguyen brings with her not only a BRAND-NEW paper in sustainable and climate finance, but also the FIRST paper to be taught on modelling climate finance risks in Australasia. The paper is a natural complement to our existing papers in this area, namely, FINC399 Sustainable Investing (introduces students to sustainable finance and explores how investors deal with sustainability issues at a portfolio level) and FINC420 Climate and Energy Finance (more narrowly focused on the analysis of individual firms in the context of climate change and energy transition). It aims to train students in state-of-the-art advanced data and modelling techniques in climate finance risk analysis, and prepare students with an end-to-end hands-on learning experience, getting them to be familiar with core data extracting and processing tools (Python, ArcGIS), climate finance datasets (IPCC scenarios, energy & power plant mix data, geospatial data, financial data), before moving on to advanced forward-looking modelling skills (climate stress testing and geospatial modelling).
The course will be delivered in Semester 2, 2022. For more information, visit FINC498 Advanced Modelling of Climate Finance Risks.
For all our courses, Interest Only Enrolments (IOE) are possible if prerequisites are met. For more information on the prerequisites for our three courses, see the attached. For more information on IOE, see the Interest Only Enrolment page.
