February 6, 2024, Chicago, IL and Seattle, WA — The Society of Actuaries (SOA) and Milliman today announced the completion of the first certificate program focused on measuring and managing climate risk for actuaries.

The curriculum includes five required courses and a sixth specialty course that students can select based on their industry or interest. Course topics range from risk modelling to understanding governance and strategies used around the world.

“Climate risk is complex and interconnected,” said Milliman Chairman Ken Mungan, FSA, MAAA. “We need a diverse team and broad collaborations to make sure people are prepared and protected. This unprecedented, multidisciplinary certification program will help train tomorrow’s experts so that society is prepared to manage the evolving risks presented by climate change.”
