Climate risk continues to be a top concern for financial institutions and a growing priority for the regulators, which is increasing the pressure for financial institutions to focus on it more. There is still much conversation about understanding the true impact of climate risk regulation as it is relatively new to the industry. Financial institutions are in the process of preparing for different climate-related scenarios so that they can understand their risk exposure in this area and prepare accordingly. There are ongoing challenges in quantification and understanding of the risk and this is especially challenging in this space as there is a lack of historical data and the scenarios need to be generated over a longer time horizon that risk professionals are not used to and are therefore struggling to manage.
