Course Overview
Over 20 jurisdictions are piloting or have implemented climate stress test across the Americas, Europe and Asia to assess the resilience of financial institutions against climate change. It has become crucial for financial institutions across the globe to understand the climate risks inherent across their portfolios, across different climate scenarios, in order to mitigate these risks effectively. Both front office and back office roles of banks need to understand the implications of these climate stress tests so they can adapt risk assessment, product structuring and client engagement in order to manage the risks and opportunities of climate change, while complying with increasing prudential regulation.
This comprehensive course, delivered in partnership with WeESG, explores how climate risk impacts banks' clients and counterparties, and thus banks themselves across the range of climate scenarios that may unfold. Participants will delve into methodologies, assumptions, gaps, and limitations associated with estimating a bank's capital shortfall in the wake of a climate-related shock, as well as review key results from regulatory stress testing exercises. This course will leave participants well-prepared to fulfil their critical roles in effectively mitigating and accurately reporting on climate risk.
