[Webinar] Implications of Climate Change on Financial Institutions – Transition Risks
Overview
As the world braves more disruptive weather conditions due to global Climate Change, the negative effects could have substantial implications on companies’ operations and financial institutions in their investment and lending portfolios. As companies face the impact of Climate Change, two risks that are high on the list are Physical Risks and Transition Risks. Transition Risks are inherent in the adaptation strategy to a lower carbon environment. How companies deal with these risks could have major implications on the Bank’s lending strategies and risk/portfolio management.
