About This Event
“Build the risks of a warming planet and shrinking nature into your supervision.”
A five-day in-person workshop on the economic and financial risks arising from climate change and nature loss. You will trace how physical, transition and nature-related risks move through the real economy into banks and sovereigns, and practise the assessment, scenario and supervisory tools central banks now use.
What You'll Explore
A worked climate scenario exercise using NGFS pathways and real data
A nature-risk screening method based on the TNFD LEAP approach
A sector heatmap of physical, transition and nature-related exposures
A briefing template for presenting climate uncertainty to leadership
A peer-reviewed climate and nature action plan for your institution
Who Should Attend
Open to all qualifying staff, particularly: Banking Supervisors, Financial Stability & Macroprudential Staff, Economists, Reserve Managers, Sustainable Finance Units.
Why This Course Matters
Beyond Carbon Alone
Water stress, soil loss and deforestation affect African agriculture, energy and sovereign revenue as much as emissions do. Adding nature to the picture shows exposures a carbon-only analysis misses.
Macro-Financial Channels
Climate and nature shocks hit growth, inflation, public finances and bank asset quality at the same time. Understanding those channels helps you connect supervisory findings to the wider stability outlook.
Tools That Travel Home
The workshop is built around practical exercises using real scenario and hazard data. You return with methods you can run in your own department rather than a set of slides to file.
Programme
Day 1
Climate change, nature loss & the economy
You will map how climate change and nature loss affect growth, inflation, trade and public finances in African economies, and why central banks treat them as risks within their own mandates.
Day 2
Physical, transition & nature-related financial risks
You will trace how physical, transition and nature-related risks become credit, market, liquidity and operational risks for banks, using sector heatmaps and dependency analysis.
Day 3
Scenario analysis with NGFS pathways
You will run a climate scenario exercise using NGFS pathways, translate macro results into sector and portfolio impacts, and learn how to present the uncertainty clearly to decision-makers.
Day 4
Nature-related risk assessment & the TNFD approach
You will apply the TNFD LEAP approach to locate, evaluate and assess a portfolio's dependencies and impacts on nature, and review how supervisors are beginning to set expectations.
Day 5
Supervisory and policy responses & action planning
You will review supervisory, macroprudential and disclosure responses to climate and nature risk, then draft and present an action plan for your own institution to peers.
Standards & Faculty Benchmark
NGFS scenarios & guidance
Climate scenarios and nature-related guidance from the central bank and supervisor network.
TNFD Recommendations & LEAP approach
The framework for identifying and disclosing nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities.
BCBS Climate-Related Financial Risk Principles
Basel principles for bank governance, risk management and supervision of climate-related risks.
NGFS, TNFD and the Basel climate principles are the frameworks your peers, your banks' parent groups and international assessors are already working with. Aligning to them keeps your analysis comparable and your supervisory expectations easy for banks to act on.
Is This Right for You?
- ☑You work on supervision, financial stability or economic analysis
- ☑Your institution is widening climate work to cover nature loss
- ☑You want hands-on tools you can use in your own department
Good to Know
Open to supervisors, economists and financial-stability staff; a basic grounding in bank risk helps, but no climate or ecology background is required. You leave with a worked scenario exercise, a nature-risk screening method and an action plan for your institution.
The Bottom Line
Return with a scenario exercise, a nature-risk screen and an action plan your leadership can adopt without starting from scratch.
