Details
Banks cannot stop climate change on their own. But they have a key role to play in steering financial flows in the right direction. Join as we discuss currently available data and implementation approaches and discuss both opportunities and shortcomings of current practice. Overall, the master class aims to equip banking professionals with up to date and relevant high-level knowledge about sustainable lending.
Specific objectives are:
• Current research findings on green lending, its costs and benefits, the organizational challenges involved and the relevant regulation.
• How to measure and assess direct physical risks (e.g., rising temperatures, flooding, water scarcity) and indirect transition risks (e.g., stranding of fossil fuel reserves, other regulatory costs).
• Becoming familiar with the relevant implementation strategies involved, with respect to bank-level, local, national and international practice, including the motivation behind the different approaches and the trade-offs involved.
• Exploring current market trends in the field of sustainable finance and respective lending instruments and the way they are applied in practice.
• The format will be a combination of inputs, discussions, and group problem solving.
