Climate risk assessment and scenario analysis: Insights for banks in Africa and Middle East

About this talk

Banks from Africa and Middle East (AME) are facing an increasing demand to accelerate their climate mitigation efforts, driven by the impacts of climate-related and transition risks on their portfolios, international climate agreements, NDC financing needs, as well as evolving public policies and regulations. UNEP FI developed the Climate Mitigation Journey (CMJ), a climate strategy framework outlining the business capabilities banks need to build and iterate for years to come as they are looking to advance their path to net zero. To address the knowledge needs of African and Middle Eastern banks, this webinar on climate risk assessment and scenario analysis will provide: • an overview of physical and transition risks and their implications for AME • the regulatory landscape for climate risk reporting • the tools and methodologies for climate scenario analysis. This webinar is part of a series of regional sessions on various climate-related topics relevant to the needs of banks from AME.

United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) is a partnership between United Nations Environment and the global financial sector created in the wake of the 1992 Earth Summit with a mission to promote sustainable finance. More than 240 financial institutions, including banks, insurers, and investors, work with UN Environment to understand today’s environmental, social and governance challenges, why they matter to finance, and how to actively participate in addressing them. UNEP FI’s work also includes a strong focus on policy – by facilitating country-level dialogues between finance practitioners, supervisors, regulators and policy-makers, and, at the international level, by promoting financial sector involvement in processes such as the global climate negotiations.
