Climate change is amplifying physical, transition, and systemic risks across economies, infrastructure, and communities. Severe weather events, long-term environmental stressors, and global decarbonization policies are reshaping business strategy, policy mandates, and capital allocation. Data science provides critical capabilities to quantify climate hazards, build predictive models, assess socioeconomic vulnerabilities, and develop climate-resilient development pathways. This domain prepares learners to apply advanced analytical tools—geospatial analytics, machine learning, satellite-based inference, climate–economic modeling, and risk scoring—to climate risk assessment and adaptation planning. Participants gain hands-on experience integrating multi-source climate datasets, conducting stress-testing, developing climate risk dashboards, modeling sectoral impacts, and translating results into actionable insights for public, private, and development institutions.
