New risks & new opportunities
As regulators ramp up on how to ensure the stability of the financial system from climate risks, banks need to start planning their strategies on managing these same risks. Having the proper data, processes, governance, policies, models and infrastructure in place will ensure that they not only measure and manage physical and transition risks, but also identify new business opportunities that will emerge as we head into a greener future.
