While climate and nature risks increase their impact on corporate performance, the analysis of and response to these asset level risks in the banking sector is evolving.

-
How are the methodologies used to measure the three forms of natural capital - natural resources stocks, land, and ecosystems - developing, and what are the practical considerations for financial decision making?
-
How are banks measuring and managing natural capital and associated macroeconomic risks?
-
How is the market responding to the increasing visibility of nature risk in business strategies and the physical climate challenges faced by corporates?
Please complete this short form to join the discussion about the pragmatic approaches to physical climate risk and nature risk in the financial decision making of banks.
