The views and opinions expressed in this content are those of the thought leader as an individual and are not attributed to CeFPro or any other organization
  • Climate and environmental risks now regulated requiring integration into core credit risk frameworks

  • EU CRR3 CRD6 and UK SS3 19 drive standardization of physical and transition risks and alignment with counterparties transition plans

  • NGFS climate scenarios useful but long horizons and no probability weighting challenge short term planning

  • Large banks build internal models others use NGFS pathways with focus on counterparty and sector data

  • Stress testing links climate impacts to PDs via channels like higher carbon prices reducing profitability

  • Physical risk uses geolocation hazard mapping calibrated to NGFS macroeconomic losses

  • Scenario analysis supports ICAAP and strategic decisions despite model limits

  • Data gaps resource constraints and uncertainty remain but inaction risk is greater
