About the Corporate Climate Leadership Programme

Climate change is no longer merely an environmental concern—it has become a strategic, financial, governance, and fiduciary issue. As regulators, investors, consumers, and global markets increasingly demand climate accountability, corporate leaders must be equipped to navigate evolving risks, opportunities, and regulatory expectations.

The Corporate Climate Leadership Programme, offered by the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), is designed to empower board members, directors, senior executives, compliance professionals, and sustainability practitioners with the knowledge and leadership capabilities required to drive climate- resilient and future- ready organizations.

Through a multidisciplinary approach, the programme examines climate governance, climate- related financial risks, regulatory frameworks, sustainability disclosures, net- zero transitions, climate finance, carbon markets, stakeholder engagement, and boardroom leadership in a rapidly changing business environment.
