Webinar I Fostering decision-useful information on physical climate risks

Webinars - By : Romain HUBERT

 

Financial actors are now exposed to the impacts of climate change on the real economy, these impacts are observable and will intensify and the years to come. Financial institutions need to prepare for physical climate risks; however, they face a lack of relevant science-based information to make the decisions.

 

– How to meet financial institutions’ needs to analyze exposure to physical climate risks?

– What are the key challenges?

– How climate scientists and financial practitioners can collaborate to overcome them?

 

Speakers :

 

Sophie Dejonckheere, Senior Advisor, Climate Finance – CICERO, Center for International Climate Research

Romain Hubert, Expert, Climate Finance – I4CE, Institute for Climate Economics

Dr. Florian Gallo, Senior Advisor – Carbone 4

David Lunsford, Head of Development & Co-Founder – Carbon Delta

Dr. Nico Kröner, Product Development Manager – South Pole

 

This event is an opportunity for financial practitioners to learn science-based and pragmatic recommendations about what physical climate risk assessment should look like, what kind of scientific information can be used and why, but also pave the way forward.

    France: Two urgent priorities for the 2025 Budget

    2025 begins with a new French government and a new budget debate, but with the same challenge as last year: how to reduce the deficit without putting the brakes on investment in the climate transition? Climate investments are the best investments we can make, according to the new Minister of Economy Éric Lombard. He’s right: any delay weakens our energy security and our position in the international race for cleantech, not to mention the pace of decarbonisation of our economy.

    The EU’s research & innovation programme can power a cleantech revolution

    Translating innovation into world-leading industries is critical, and FP10, the EU’s next flagship R&D funding programme after Horizon Europe concludes, offers a chance to bridge this gap. The Green Deal era saw Europe embrace ‘Cleantech 2.0’, with record investments and new projects. Yet 2024 has brought a reckoning. Slowing demand in sectors like heat pumps and electric cars, Chinese industrial overcapacity, and attractive subsidies in the US and Canada have left European cleantech struggling to compete. Closures, layoffs, and stalled projects – including the high-profile collapse of Swedish battery maker Northvolt – have shaken the sector. The EU’s Net Zero Industry Act and the upcoming Clean Industrial Deal aim to support cleantech manufacturing, but catching up isn’t enough. To lead globally, the EU must focus on the next wave, including new battery chemistries and next-gen renewables – ‘Cleantech 3.0.’

    Leveraging the Prudential Toolkit for Effectively Managing Stranding Risks: A focus on the European Banking Industry

    As the European economy decarbonizes, economic assets across sectors are at risk of stranding or repricing from transition pressures. Yet private financial institutions, particularly banks, often narrowly focus on fossil fuel credit losses using historical data, underestimating broader ‘whole of economy’ stranding risks. Risk mitigation in the form of prudential capital buffers and loss provisions […]
