Climate Risk & Scenario Analysis Certification

The Climate Risk & Scenario Analysis Certification is a free advanced-level, 25-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests climate risk and scenario analysis — physical and transition risk, the TCFD four pillars and IFRS S2 disclosure requirements, NGFS scenarios and pathways, scenario design and narrative, financed emissions and portfolio alignment, climate stress testing for banks and insurers, physical hazard modelling and exposure data, transition risk channels such as carbon pricing and stranded assets, governance and risk management integration, and decision-useful reporting — written to ISSB, TCFD, NGFS, Basel Committee and IPCC guidance for 2026 and 2027. Score 70% or more on its 25 questions to earn a verifiable Climate Risk & Scenario Analysis certificate (SOA-CRSA). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (FSB), IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures (International Sustainability Standards Board), NGFS climate scenarios for central banks and supervisors (Network for Greening the Financial System) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Science of Apps offers a free Climate Risk & Scenario Analysis Certification, written for 2026 and 2027. It tests climate risk foundations, disclosure frameworks, scenario design and analysis, financial risk quantification and governance and integration with 25 original scenario questions in all, each naming its published source; you get an instant score and a verifiable certificate with a credential ID you can add to LinkedIn.

Read the five skill areas on this page, then take the 25-minute test online — no fee, course or sign-up. You see every answer explained when you finish. Score 70% or more and you get a Climate Risk & Scenario Analysis certificate straight away, on screen, as a PDF and by email, with a credential ID anyone can verify.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (FSB); IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures (International Sustainability Standards Board); NGFS climate scenarios for central banks and supervisors (Network for Greening the Financial System); Principles for the effective management and supervision of climate-related financial risks (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision); Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) (PCAF); AR6 Synthesis Report (IPCC). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Five skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Climate Risk Foundations (Physical risk, Transition risk and Climate science basics); Disclosure Frameworks (TCFD pillars, IFRS S2 requirements and Metrics and targets); Scenario Design and Analysis (Scenario sets, Narratives and variables and Time horizons); Financial Risk Quantification (Stress testing, Portfolio alignment and Physical risk modelling); Governance and Integration (Board oversight, Risk management integration and Reporting and assurance). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Climate risk analyst, Sustainability or ESG reporting manager, Bank or insurer risk manager, Investment analyst integrating climate and Sustainability consultant. It suits students at leading universities, career switchers and experienced professionals who want quick, verifiable proof of Climate Risk & Scenario Analysis knowledge in 2026 and 2027.

Sustainability-minded students in Europe, ANZ, Canada and the Gulf are targeting climate finance, net-zero strategy and nature markets. Passing earns a founder-signed Science of Apps certificate with a credential ID and QR code that recruiters can verify.

Physical risk comes from climate hazards — acute events such as floods and storms, and chronic shifts such as heat and sea-level rise. Transition risk comes from the move to a low-carbon economy — policy, technology, market and reputation changes.

Because the future path of warming and policy is uncertain, scenario analysis tests how resilient a strategy is across several plausible futures instead of relying on a single forecast. IFRS S2 requires climate-related scenario analysis to assess resilience.

Yes. The test is online, in English and free everywhere — people take it from India, the US, the UK, Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Your certificate is dated with your own local date and can be verified from anywhere at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/.

25 questions — 5 from each of 5 skill areas — with a 25-minute limit. You need 70% (18 of 25) to pass and 90% for distinction.
