The executive challenge

The problem this program solves

The board approved a climate law target that nobody has costed, baselined or sequenced — and the first assurance engagement is already booked. The talent that could build your climate law capability goes where the data, the mandate and the budget already exist. You leave with a baselined, costed and sequenced climate law blueprint — and the data architecture to defend every number in it.

Context

Why this matters now

The first assurance engagements on climate law statements are arriving — and finding data that cannot yet defend itself.
Climate Law disclosure is becoming mandatory: ISSB-aligned standards are entering African regulation market by market.
Lenders, insurers and anchor customers now price climate law credibility directly into cost of capital and contracts.

Capability

What you will be able to do

  • Build a credible climate law transition plan — targets, baselines, sequencing and capital.
  • Read materiality in climate law: what matters financially, and to whom.
  • Prepare climate law data and governance for third-party assurance.
  • Produce disclosure-grade climate law reporting that survives assurance.

The IPAT Course Standard

The five-day journey

Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.

IPAT Signature Case™

The Green Bond With a Leaky Framework

A national airline issued the region’s first green bond to strong demand. Six months later, an NGO alleges 30% of proceeds financed activities the framework never intended — and the framework was written by the deal team, not by risk.

Your decision: Decide the response: disclosure, remediation, and who owns the next climate law framework.

IPAT Data Lab™

The climate law claims in a regional bank’s report cannot survive an assurance engagement — yet.

Dataset: Synthetic ESG data-pipeline extracts with estimation gaps and inconsistent boundaries.

Your task: Repair the pipeline, rebuild the disclosure-grade numbers, and run the assurance pre-check.
