Climate risk and the financial sector
These short videos, around 20 minutes each, look at different ways climate risk can affect financial sector businesses, with topics including disclosure, stress testing, and regulatory and legal considerations.
They are designed for an international audience and delve into areas that are unique to the financial sector, largely derived from the work undertaken by leading central banks such as the Bank of England and Banque de France, as set out by the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening of the Financial System (“NGFS”).
This series has been developed from a series of joint webinars that HSBC and Chapter Zero held in 2020, focused on how board directors could better oversee their companies’ climate transition strategies.
