A Climate Risk Toolkit for Financial Supervisors

TC climate risk toolkit for financial supervisors who are considering how best to respond to climate-related risks

Toronto Centre toolkit builds supervisory capacity in factoring climate-related risks into the assessment of the risks facing financial institutions and of financial stability more generally, in delivering higher standards of disclosure to enable investors and consumers to make well-informed decisions, and in addressing the impact of climate change on financial inclusion. It addresses four broad questions corresponding to the stages that a supervisory authority should follow when addressing climate-related risks to its supervisory objectives: i) what might be the impact of climate change on your country; ii) what might be the impact of climate-related risks on financial institutions, on financial stability, and on users of financial products and services in your country; iii) what supervisory actions should be taken in response to climate-related risks; and iv) can and should supervisors do anything to influence climate change itself?
