| Session 1: Assessing, monitoring, and addressing climate-related risks in the finance sector:
International experiences and options
Climate change exposes economies to physical and transition risks to the soundness of their financial
institutions and the stability of their overall financial systems. To forestall these risks—threatening economic
resilience and competitiveness—governments, financial markets, and financial institutions need financial
resources, instruments, and skills. This session will focus on these topics:
- Assessing climate financial risk in the finance sector
- Setting supervisory expectations for climate risk management in the finance sector
- Micro- and macroprudential options for supervisors
