The University of Sarajevo is a GARP Approved SCR® Exam Preparation Provider, the first in the Western Balkans to hold this status, with preparation available to candidates worldwide. 

Through the University’s Sustainability Learning & Impact Platform (SLI) and its GARP SCR Hub, candidates can prepare for the Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) Certificate through structured learning led by SCR® Certificate Holders. 

Building Practical Sustainability and Climate Risk Expertise 

Developed by the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP), the SCR® Certificate builds knowledge across the rapidly evolving field of sustainability and climate risk. 

The programme goes beyond climate science alone. It examines how climate and sustainability-related risks and opportunities affect organisations, markets, finance, investment and decision-making. 

The SCR® curriculum covers the full sustainability and climate-risk landscape, including: 

• Foundations of climate change 
• Sustainability 
• Climate change risk 
• Sustainability and climate policy, culture and governance 
• Green and sustainable finance: markets and instruments 
• Climate risk measurement and management 
• Climate models and scenario analysis 
• Net zero 
• Climate and nature risk assessment
• Transition planning and carbon reporting 

From Physical Risk to Transition Planning 

SCR® preparation develops understanding of both physical and transition risks, while also addressing the tools organisations increasingly use to assess and manage them. 

Participants build capability across scenario analysis, climate-risk measurement, sustainable finance, nature risk, net-zero strategies and transition planning. 

This broader perspective is particularly relevant as climate risk increasingly becomes part of strategy, finance, investment, governance and organisational decision-making.
