Abstract

Climate-change and environmental risks, as illustrated by extreme weather events and biodiversity losses, pose a fundamental threat to humanity. Calls for action have intensified and pressures on the financial sector have significantly increased. As a result, environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosures and risk assessment have improved. In this context, this paper highlights the crucial role of governance and scenario analysis in enhancing the effectiveness of climate-change and environmental risk management. Concrete examples are given, drawing on some results of the unprecedented ACPR pilot climate exercise, to illustrate the importance of scenario analysis.
