How can financial institutions enhance their use of #climate scenario analysis to assess resilience to a warming world and seize opportunities? This is the focus of a pending consultation by the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the topic of a webinar co-hosted by the MSCI Sustainability Institute and our Climate Risk Center on Wednesday, January 29. Register here: http://ms.spr.ly/6049UJXGT #TheEBAConsults invites comment on proposed guidelines covering three key facets of scenario analysis: ✅ The use of scenario analysis by financial institutions and approaches for integrating it into financial management. ✅ Criteria for setting scenarios and identifying transmission channels to translate climate risks into financial risks. ✅ Distinctions between climate stress testing and using scenarios to map out institutional strategies for various potential futures. Our webinar will delve into all three topics. We'll also explore how market expectations align with – or diverge from – climate scenarios commonly used in the financial industry and provide practical tips for leveraging climate scenario analysis in financial decision-making.
