“Towards Macroprudential Frameworks for Managing Climate Risk”

WATCH

Event description

Young Scholars' Webinar on Climate Finance and Economics

                                    

Join us for a panel discussion in collaboration with the Council on Economic Policies (CEP).

The discussion will center around a recent ESRB report which proposes three frameworks for relating climate risks to financial stability – addressing risk surveillance, macroprudential policy and broader risks to nature. A first framework covers financial stability risk surveillance. It takes stock of advances in measuring and modelling the impacts of climate risk, proposing a list of indicators for regular financial stability risk monitoring. A second framework details macroprudential policy options. It outlines both the features of a robust strategy as well as an initial operational design based on existing instruments, which can be scaled up as further information and more tailored policy options emerge. A third framework takes a first look at prospective financial stability impacts stemming from nature degradation, which could serve to exacerbate the financial stability impacts of climate change.
