Presentation of the ECB/ESRB Climate Report

There are many indicators that can measure threats that climate change poses to financial stability. The macroprudential challenge is to corral these indicators into a coherent surveillance framework for managing risk. A recently published ECB/ESRB report harnesses a growing body of evidence on indicators into three primary categories: climate shocks, exposures to these shocks, and financial risks resulting from the interaction of exposure and prevailing vulnerabilities. Existing evidence can be used to tailor a macroprudential approach to addressing climate risks – that is, a strategy to contain risk for banks and for the broader financial system. The report also contains a first look at prospective financial stability impacts stemming from nature degradation, which could serve to exacerbate the financial stability impacts of climate change

The policy web seminar is a part of the SAFE-CEPR joint seminar series aiming at fostering debates on policy-relevant issues.
