⬇️ Why should I choose the cohort version versus the self-paced version of the certificate? 

The cohort version of the Climate Risk, Valuation, and Investing Certificate starts on specific dates throughout the year and connects you with a cohort of your peers from around the world who all study together during the same timeframe. Build your network by sharing ideas in facilitated discussion forums and get a sense of community as you learn new topics in the curriculum together. Many people find they are also more motivated to learn with a structured schedule that offers a clear timeline while still having the flexibility to study at their own pace within each of the five courses.
