Speakers will present a detailed approach for developing climate risk stress test scenarios that applies firm-level climate physical-and transition-risk sensitivities and introduces credit risk shocks into climate risk modelling, detailed in their recently published UK Centre for Greening Finance and Investment - CGFI Climate Institute Paper and will provide examples of credit/climate scenarios. This session is a part of the GCD Climate Risk Focus Group's webinar series. The focus group serves as a center for collaboration and the sharing of expertise among ESG, climate, and risk professionals from banks and industry experts worldwide.

The speakers, Mario Morelli and Clemens-Maria Lehofer will present their work on short-term scenarios and provide an indicative sketch of how the scenario data will be structured. This will be followed by a live survey to gather participant views and allow deeper understanding of banking industry perspectives, applications, and preferences which will pave the way for an open interactive discussion and Q&A time, where attendees are encouraged to pose questions and share their input.
