Climate Intelligence & Strategic Resilience Planner (CISRP-O&G)®
Program Overview
The Climate Intelligence & Strategic Resilience Planner (CISRP-O&G) certification is a forward-looking credential designed for professionals responsible for preparing oil and gas infrastructure, investments, and operations to withstand climate-related risks. As extreme weather events, shifting climatic baselines, and policy-driven disruptions become increasingly common, the oil and gas industry must integrate climate intelligence into every layer of strategic planning.
This program equips candidates with the methodologies and tools needed to perform climate risk modeling, develop resilience frameworks, execute scenario-based stress testing, and implement regional adaptation strategies aligned with global standards such as those from the IPCC, NGFS, and TCFD. It bridges climate science and operational risk management to support informed decision-making in vulnerable and high-risk energy environments.
Why this Certification Matters
As global investors, regulators, and stakeholders place a greater emphasis on climate-related disclosures and operational resilience, companies operating in the hydrocarbons sector must demonstrate proactive planning to remain competitive, compliant, and socially responsible. Infrastructure in coastal, desert, permafrost, or politically volatile zones faces unique climate threats that demand strategic foresight and data-driven adaptation planning.
The CISRP-O&G® credential provides validation that a professional can lead or support climate-resilient initiatives across upstream, midstream, and downstream value chains. It fosters alignment between business continuity, climate adaptation, and sustainable asset management.
Key Learning Outcomes
