The programme explores the intersection between climate governance, environmental policy, institutional leadership, regulatory compliance, public sector sustainability, and organizational strategy, enabling participants to effectively respond to emerging climate risks and sustainability challenges. This aligns with International agreements such as the Paris Agreement, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and national climate legislation which have fundamentally reshaped how organizations plan, govern, invest, and report on sustainability initiatives. Participants will examine international climate governance frameworks, national climate policies, regulatory instruments, sustainable development planning, climate finance policies, institutional coordination, and stakeholder engagement mechanisms while learning practical approaches to mainstream climate considerations into national development plans, sectoral policies, corporate strategies, and public investment programmes. **Share this course:** [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fclimate-change-policy-governance-and-sustainable-development) [Twitter](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fclimate-change-policy-governance-and-sustainable-development&text=Climate+Change+Policy%2C+Governance+and+Sustainable+Development+Course) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fclimate-change-policy-governance-and-sustainable-development&title=Climate+Change+Policy%2C+Governance+and+Sustainable+Development+Course) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Climate+Change+Policy%2C+Governance+and+Sustainable+Development+Course%20https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fclimate-change-policy-governance-and-sustainable-development) ## Learning Objectives - Understand global climate governance and sustainable development frameworks. - Formulate and implement effective climate change policies. - Integrate climate priorities into national and organizational planning. - Strengthen climate governance and institutional accountability. - Promote sustainable development through evidence-based policy. - Enhance regulatory compliance and environmental governance. - Develop climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. - Align organizational initiatives with the SDGs and Paris Agreement. - Strengthen stakeholder participation in climate policy implementation. - Lead climate governance reforms that support sustainable and resilient development ## Course Content ### Module 1: Climate Change, Sustainable Development and Global Governance 1.
