Abstract

Climate-related and environmental pose a threat to financial stability and at credit institutions’ level. This paper delves into the on-going European Union initiatives for a sustainable banking sector, elaborates on how addressing this newly-identified source of financial risk fits within the mandate of prudential supervisors and provides an insight on their treatment under the current prudential framework for European credit institutions.
