Abstract

Climate change and nature degradation expose banks to new financial risks. Since 2020, three levers have enabled the public authorities to bring about changes in the practices of French banks: the development of forward-looking tools (scenarios, stress tests), the strengthening of supervision and, since 2026, the requirement to draw up a prudential transition plan. Le changement climatique et la dégradation de la nature exposent les banques à de nouveaux risques financiers. Depuis 2020, trois leviers ont permis aux autorités publiques de faire évoluer les pratiques des banques françaises : le développement d’outils prospectifs (scénarios, stress tests), le renforcement de la supervision et, depuis 2026, l’exigence d’élaborer un plan de transition prudentiel.
