Survey will begin with participant banks in September.
Objectives of the project:
The collaboration will identify common credit risk assessment methodologies, provide a benchmark for modeling approaches for climate risk assessment used by financial institutions, and explore how the quantification of climate risks can be impacted by variations in assessment methodologies.
Value for Participants:
GCD and UNEP FI will publish a comprehensive report that benchmarks and compares the various credit risk modelling approaches used by financial institutions to assess climate risks.
This report will include overview of methodologies, information on data used, scenarios and models applied, variables and metrics selected, methodological comparisons, best practices, and the standardization of climate risk modeling practices across the financial sector. It will also provide insights into the progress financial institutions have made in their climate risk assessment approaches.
