Assessing the Materiality of Climate Risks

Why CROs Need to Take an ERM approach

Climate risk management is at a crossroads. Recognized as systemic threats to financial stability, C&E risks require robust frameworks akin to those for market and credit risks. However, challenges such as data scarcity and modeling complexities persist. A true ERM approach, integrating various risk types—including climate—into a unified strategy, is crucial for substantial progress.

Key Considerations for CROs

  • Understand the Material Impact
  • Report Aggregated Data
  • Integrate Climate Risks into Credit Processes
  • Develop Climate Stress-Testing Scenarios
  • Assess the Impact on Cash Flows and Liquidity Buffers
