The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) organizes on February 6 an event on climate corporate governance for financial institutions.

The EBRD will bring together in London representatives from financial institutions to share their practical experience of the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of climate related risk management.

The event will discuss ways to achieve an effective investor-led climate response via climate corporate governance, standards-based climate finance, climate risk management and climate related capital market products.

The all-day event provides an opportunity to gain insight into the latest thinking of a network of leading climate corporate governance professionals.

.Heavy weight international figures are expected to take part in the event Deputy General Manager of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Luiz A. Pereira da Silva will deliver a keynote speech at the event, alongside Financial Times Editor and Columnist Gillian Tett and Moody’s Vice President James Leaton.

Citi bank Managing Director for Sustainable Banking and Corporate Transitions Courtney Lowrance will also address the event as well as UNEP FI Head Usher Eric, and Climate Bonds Initiative CEO Sean Kidney.

ING’s Sustainable Finance Director Dr Roland Mees will also deliver a speech at the event along with Global Head of Sustainable Finance of BNP Paribas Alexandra Basirov, and Head of NGFS Secretariat of  Banque de France Morgan Despres.

During the past decade, with extreme weather causing losses of hundreds of billions of dollars per year and the changing climate intensifying the adverse effects of wasteful practices, environmental considerations have overtaken economic concerns as the main sources of global risk, according to the World Economic Forum.

Financial regulators and the European Union are responding with recommendations and guidance on the disclosure of climate related financial risks to help integrate sustainability into investor portfolio management. Credit rating agencies are developing new ways to anticipate how climate related risks could impact businesses and financial institutions.
