Course Overview
Basel's "Principles for the effective management and supervision of climate-related financial risks" puts forward expectations that banks should integrate transition and physical risks into traditional credit indicators such as probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), and exposure at default (EAD). Despite this, research conducted by IMF shows that credit risk modelling conducted by financial institutions are not yet fully pricing in climate risk. Finance professionals working in credit and loans are increasingly needing to understand how to systematically integrate these newer risks in their models, as well as how to source and adjust related data, to help their organisations better manage credit risks.
This course, delivered in partnership with WeESG, explores the advanced concepts of climate-related credit risks and how to address the current limitations associated data availability. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the related risk transmission channels and best practices to effectively integrate these in key credit indicators. This course will leave participants with the skills needed to enhance financial models by capturing climate risk while at the same time meet the expectations set forth by financial supervisors.
