Climate Change Scenarios and Stress Testing
Evaluate Climate Change Risks and Opportunities
Regulators, investors, and banks around the world are accelerating their efforts to evaluate and strengthen the resilience of financial systems to climate change and related policy actions. Banks and their supervisors are exploring physical and transition risks under various climate stress test or exploratory scenario exercises and investors are keen to quantify the impact on their portfolios and position themselves to capture opportunities under different climate change scenarios.
We support institutions’ stress testing and strategic decision making with a set of climate change scenarios. These scenarios describe how different sets of stakeholders will shape policies and actions as we move towards a future with lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Regulatory Climate Stress Scenario Expansion
Our economist and modeling teams support financial institutions who are undertaking regulatory climate stress test or scenario analyses with modeling support and long-term projections of industry and country specific economic and financial variables. We construct and expand scenarios which are consistent with the assumptions provided by regulators such as the commonly referred scenarios from the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS).
Our economist and modeling teams leverage award-winning integrated models to offer geographical, industry level and macro-financial variable expansion services for regulatory climate stress test or exploratory exercises.
Proprietary Climate Scenarios
To assist institutions with managing risks effectively and identifying opportunities, we also prepare plausible and integrated climate scenarios with a 30-year horizon including two net zero greenhouse (GHG) emissions cases:
