Climate change and biodiversity loss have emerged as significant risks that supervisors must incorporate within their supervisory frameworks and practices. The Financial Stability Board states that “climate-related risks are far-reaching and differ from other risks to financial stability,” with effects on the financial system that are “subject to substantial uncertainty and tail-risk.”
This virtual, cross-sectoral program examines the adaptation of supervision to climate change and biodiversity loss-related risks, micro- and macroprudential responses to these risks, and the consequences of these risks to the financial system, consumer protection, and financial inclusion. Insurance, bank, securities, and pension supervisors will learn how stress testing can be used to assess climate and biodiversity loss, and how better risk management can mitigate the impact of climate shocks to the financial system.
