Managing Climate Risk for Financial Institutions

Course Background

Through the nature of their businesses, financial institutions are intrinsically exposed and linked to the consequences of climate change. There are many examples of how global climate change will directly affect financial institutions, including damage to non-resilient assets such as real estate along coast lines, damage to crops and industry from storms, floods and unusual temperatures, and health risks to people and communities.

There is also the assumption that financial institutions may directly and indirectly contribute to climate change through their financing activities. How institutions choose the assets they finance and how they report on their risk profile is crucial to measuring and managing the impact of financial institution activity on our climate.

This workshop will review the various aspects of climate change and climate risk in order to allow financial institutions to identify how and where their businesses and activities contribute to it. The module will help financial institutions undertake effective risk profiling to help identify potential climate risk hotspots, and how mitigating steps can be taken. The module will also provide practical guidance on how financial institutions should prepare themselves to face the new risks that are emerging as a result of global climate change.
